The winter has not brought a stop to the Paladins Domination Tour. On January 27th, the most seasoned team won the Ramblin' Wreck Invitational at Georgia Tech in undefeated fashion, and this past weekend, that team won the Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd, P.A. regional held at Furman. The freshman-sophomore team earned 5th place in the Kilpatrick Stockton LLP regional which also was held at Furman this past weekend; the second junior-senior team, finished 6th in the Kilpatrick Stockton LLP regional, and a team composed of mostly new students finished with a 2.5 record. The regional victories mean that the Paladins have qualified one team for the national championship in Minneapolis in early April and one team for the national consolation tournament in Memphis in mid-March.

"The Paladins are having a magical mock trial season." Yesterday, the team captured the championship with a perfect 8-0 record at the Tobacco Road Invitational, hosted by UNC-Chapel Hill and North Carolina. The field included many national powers among its 38 teams. This team, led by Zachary Corrigan '08, Rockford, Illinois, and Brittany Miller '09, Kingsport, Tennessee has lost only one ballot by 2 points in three tournaments, while capturing the crowns at the Midlands, Sanders, and, now the Tobacco Road Invitationals. The Paladins have a long tradition of excellence in mock trial, but this season's successes haven't been equalled since the 2000-2001 season, when the team led by Coach David Koysza lost a single ballot during the fall of 2000.
