Gordon also secured second place in Program Oral Interpretation and third place for Overall Individual Speaker.<\/p>\n<p>Additional TSC finalists included Grace Hartman, who placed seventh in Informative Speaking and sixth in Duo Interpretation alongside Olivia Shull. Shull earned sixth place in Dramatic Interpretation.<\/p>\n<p>Jack Hopkins rounded out the team\u2019s success by earning fifth place in Impromptu Speaking and sixth in Informative Speaking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe team this year is one of the hardest-working and tenacious teams ever,\u201d said John Schultz, the faculty advisor for the Speech and Debate team. \u201cThey are always up for the challenge. I believe if you want to be a champion, you need both talent and a great work ethic. These students have both, and I predict they will win both state and junior college regional championships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This victory marks the team\u2019s sixth first-place finish of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the team will compete at the Florida College System Activities Association State Championship, where TSC has claimed the state title 24 of the past 26 years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftallahasseereports.com%2F2026%2F02%2F10%2Ftsc-forensics-team-wins-first-place%2F\" style=\"display:inline-block;\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sfsi_wicon\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" alt=\"fb-share-icon\" title=\"Facebook Share\" src=\"https:\/\/tallahasseereports.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-social-media-plus\/images\/share_icons\/fb_icons\/en_US.svg\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=TSC+Forensics+Team+Wins+First+Place https:\/\/tallahasseereports.com\/2026\/02\/10\/tsc-forensics-team-wins-first-place\/\" style=\"display:inline-block\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" nopin=\"nopin\" width=\"auto\" class=\"sfsi_plus_wicon\" src=\"https:\/\/tallahasseereports.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-social-media-plus\/images\/share_icons\/Twitter_Tweet\/en_US_Tweet.svg\" alt=\"Tweet\" title=\"Tweet\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; The Tallahassee State College (TSC) Speech and Debate team delivered a standout performance this past weekend&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32910,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":{"0":"post-150620","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tallahassee","8":"tag-tallahassee","9":"tag-tallahassee-headlines","10":"tag-tallahassee-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150620\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
