To no one's surprise, Team Americas won the competition, and will be rated top seed for the El Paso region when they attend the state competition early in March. All the teams were amazing, and the last mock trial for the session pitted the two top teams. Both of the top teams will make it to the state competition, and they both were great.
Zach's team was judged the best, by a small margin. Competition judges were three sitting judges. They were all very impressed by the calibre of the teams, one judge saying that the kids did a better job than some of the practicing attorneys that came before his bench.
It was l-o-o-o-ng day, and Zach was in court from 7:15 until after 6 pm! We managed to watch the last semi-finals and finals, and it was tiring just to watch these kids.
We'll be returning tomorrow (Monday) and back to the old grind...
