In this episode of the TidePod, we spoke with Mr. Taylor and mock trial team members about their current season. The team is split into two groups, defense and prosecution. The two sides alternate competitions as they argue the two sides. The team finished their regular season and is now transitioning to the playoffs. After winning the state championship in 2023, the team looks to make a deep run in their playoff competition to return to the top of the state.
