On March 4, 2023, Houston ISD and CASE Debates students came together at the Bob Casey Federal Courthouse in downtown Houston for the elimination rounds of HUDL's 2022-2023 City Championships.
Thanks go out to our district partners and our volunteers for making this year's championships, and the entire debate season, a rousing success. HUDL also thanks the judges of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas for welcoming our debaters into the courthouse for this unique and exciting experience.
Congratulations to the champions and runners-up, each of whom receives a Benjamin Donald Hatfield Scholarship award thanks to the remarkable generosity of the Hatfield family.
