Jefferson’s Congressional Debate team poses before a tournament in 2019. The team has had to adjust to support each other in a now virtual setting, such as at Saturday’s in-house. “Every time we had a national tournament or local tournament, we would always meet as a team 30 minutes before to just talk to each other, hype each other up, give each other confidence. We still do that now. We always call one hour before [tournaments] and talk to each other,” Nalluri said.
