Honoring a Remarkable Legacy: The 2024 John Lewellen Palm Invitational

As we embark on a new year, it's time to celebrate the power of speech and debate, while also honoring a remarkable individual who has left an indelible mark on our community.

This month, our thoughts are with the family, friends, and students of John Lewellen, the esteemed coach and founder of ModernBrain, who tragically passed away last month. John was not just a coach but a mentor, a leader, and an innovator in the world of speech and debate. His contributions to this field have been immense, and his passion for nurturing young minds was unparalleled.

In memory of John's extraordinary life and work, we are proud to announce the renaming of this month's tournament to the 2024 John Lewellen Palm Invitational. This tournament will be a testament to his legacy, celebrating the values he championed - excellence, perseverance, and the transformative power of speech and debate.

We invite all teams, especially those from ModernBrain, to participate in this commemorative event. Let's come together to celebrate the spirit of competition, camaraderie, and learning that John so passionately fostered.
