i recently had the honor of watching the whitman finals and judging at the tourney. and i can say, w/o doubt, that brian yang from lincoln, despite being pretty low key, could very well be the best ld debater in the nation, by far. also shout out to zane miller for centennial – not bad, but again – brian yang tho. be on the look at y’all – he’s a real hidden gem, im tellin y’all
