Boone Central’s speech team made school history by winning their first ever State Speech Championship last Thursday, March 21, in Kearney.
After a runner-up finish at the C1 State Speech Tournament last year, the Boone Central Cardinals went one better for 2024 to capture the championship over perennial powers David City (second place) and Malcolm (third).
Boone Central had 13 entries advancing to state this year, and 10 entries made the tournament finals. This group came away with three first places, two seconds, two thirds and three fourths.
