The Prince Edward County High School Forensics Team won the Quad Rivers Conference 34 championship at Goochland High School on Feb. 8, capturing six first-place medals out of a total of ten events. “We had a smaller team this year, and it’s hard to win a championship if you don’t have someone in every event,” said Coach Debbie Rush. “However, we managed to snag the trophy by getting so many first place finishes.” The Eagles edged out the larger Goochland team, which finished in second place.  There were five teams at the tournament, representing five of the Quad Rivers schools. PECHS will move on to the VHSL 2A East regionals at R.E. Lee High School in Staunton on Feb. 25.
