LHS drama team 1st at Kalispell tourney
The Libby High School drama team took
first place in its division during the Kalispell Invitational/David
M. Hashley Drama Tournament on Friday and Saturday.
Libby compiled 75 points to win handily
over the nearest competitor. The Loggers dominated in the humorous
duo category with 34 of their team points coming there. Another 28
points were scored in the serious duo category.
“This is our second first ... we also
took first at Browning by a big margin,” LHS coach Shelley Fisher
said. “They’re coming along. We’ve got a couple of pieces I think
we’re going to drop and find something different.”
The LHS team of Mark Curtiss and Josh
Broderick took first place in humorous duo. In that same category,
Jason Schikora and Jolee Holder finished third and Jordan
Stephenson and Justin Lauer placed sixth.
“They’ve had a couple of firsts and a
second I believe,” Fisher said about Curtiss and Broderick.
“They’re doing ‘Harry Trotter’ – a take-off of ‘Harry Potter’ ...
it has a lot of intricate timing.”
Schikora and Holder were leading the
competition heading into the final round with their “Garbage Slam”
but ran into a couple of tough judges. Curtiss and Broderick drew
consistent scores throughout the tournament.
In the serious duo competition,
Stephenson and Lauer took second while Hailey Bowe and Paige
Bothman placed third.
The Loggers also had various
individuals place in the solo events. In serious solo, Jessica
Broderick placed fourth and Miranda Raab was fifth. In humorous
solo, Anthony Dewey ended up seventh. And in pantomime, newcomer
Hannah Payne placed third.
Flathead won the Class AA speech and
debate competition and Loyola took first in Class A-B-C speech and
debate.
Libby’s drama team will see action
again on Dec. 3-4 at Corvallis and Dec. 11 at Whitefish. In
January, the team will see more competition leading up to
divisionals on Jan. 22 in Libby.
Fisher invites any community members to
serve as judges at the home divisional meet. A judge’s workshop is
scheduled for the Tuesday before the event. For information or to
volunteer, call Fisher at LHS (293-8802).
