Alpharetta BP reach Doubles at Wake Forest

Alpharetta BP (Tucker Boyce & Anushka Panday) were Double-Octafinalists at the Wake Forest Earlybird Tournament this past weekend. Anushka and Tucker were also in the top 40 speakers at the whole tournament – a very impressive feat.

In the Junior Varsity division, we lost out reigning championship (won that JV division the past two years), but Alpharetta KM (Naveena Karusala & Chris Moxley) did secure a Semi-Finalist position. Naveena personally won 7th Speaker.

All in all, a fantastic tournament for all.
