Jefferson High science teacher Kayla Feistner took on a tall order when she agreed, as coach of the school’s speech, debate and drama team, to host last weekend’s divisional meet.
Yet she not only succeeded, but her team nearly pulled off a clean sweep – nine out of 10 JHS’ competitors are headed to the state meet in Townsend this weekend.
In her third year as coach, Feistner had yet to organize a meet at Jefferson High, which had not hosted a meet since the 2022-2023 debate season. And the divisional meet, which is the final step before the state meet at Broadwater High Jan. 30-31, is much larger than a regular season meet.
