Kate Drew and Carey Appeldorn win the 2010 California State Tournament
View full results for CHSSA State 2009-2010
The final round of the 2010 California State Tournament was a deviation from tradition – it was not a NorCal v SoCal grudge match. Instead, both finalists, Matt O’Brien and Gary Nielsen from Granite Bay (Sacro) and Kate Drew and Carey Appeldorn from Bishop O’Dowd (GGSA), represented the better half of California. On a 5-2 decision, the Bishop O’Dowd duo went on to win the state title, only two weeks after they defeated Logan for the California Cup championship. Their victory at the state’s two most elite tournaments, combined with their spectacular performance at the four regular season tournaments (they only lost one elimination round this year) makes Kate and Carey one of the five teams in history to earn over 30 POI points – and the only team to earn over 40. Bishop O’Dowd is coached by Jon Thorpe; Granite Bay is coached by Rita Prichard.

*I think*
Lynbrook MN 1-2
Cleveland LM 2-1
any other results?
Apparently Cleveland thought that they were 2-0 going into round 3 against lynbrook, but from what artem says above, it would make sense that both were 1-1 and Cleveland won in round three. I don’t know anything else but they’ve posted breaks on the joyoftournaments website using team codes
Posted from my iPhone.
I assumed Cleveland was 1-1 based on powermatching, but then, states don’t have the best tab, so could have been a pull-up.

Interesting turnout. I predict epic CFL Bellarmine vs some uber GGSA team in finals. Or maybe Mira Loma AL. Lots of good teams
Might anyone update the current results? Thanks
Bentley and O’Dowd both received byes into the semifinal round.
Ladies and Gentlement:
Your 2010 CHSSA SemiFinalists…
1) Cleveland LM
2.) Miraloma AL
3.) Bishop O’Dowd AD
4.) Bellarmine PH* (ACTUAL- not Bentley)
That’s odd . . . considering Bentley went 5 – 0, i’m wondering how they didn’t advance and why they’re currently prepping.
Bellarmine 5-0 and currently prepping. All of the above teams went 5-0. Check your facts…
who are you giles cohen?

What’s Cleveland’s current status?
I left the tourney… updates?

lol. Good job! It’s pretty easy to confuse bentley mb for bellarmine ph. Both teams look almost identical…
There’s some rumor going around that the team of Kate Drew and Carey Appeldorn from Bishop O’ Dowd won the state tournament in grand style. Who knows; it’s probably unfounded…
Bishop O’Dowd AD defeated Granite Bay ON in the final round on a 5 – 2 ballot. The GGSA did well at this tournament. Big congrats to Kate and Carey.
Wow. Congrats to Bishop AD again for being absolutely amazing. I hope you guys are seniors so we don’t have to worry about you next year
And I guess this breaks CFL’s record of making it to at least finals for like 6 years.
Congrats to Kate and Carey they are absolutely amazing. I really hope they continue in college. Does anyone know what college Kate and Carey are going to and if they are planning on doing college debate there?
Once again Great Job. I they’ve had an amazing season of debate that should be hard to top
Resolutions:
1. THBT the current level of deficit spending does more harm than good.
2. TBHT corporations should not be allowed to give donations to political campaigns.
3. THBT, when in conflict, parental rights outweigh the benefits of academic freedom.
4. US nuclear arms reductions decrease the risk of war.
Can anyone elaborate on how Granite Bay got to finals but not to semifinals?

Man. What a tourney. Bishop and Granite…incredible, guys.
I don’t understand that bracket at all… did they randomly redraw the pairings?

Kate and Carey, congratulations on a win well deserved. We couldn’t be happier for you and are so pleased that GGSA has finally taken home the number one position. A job well done!
Sam and Natasha, we were sorry to see you go so early. That was really an upset and we all know that you deserve to have gone further. Next year.
To all of the great teams at States, congratulations for making it that far and I hope we’ll all be back next year.
McKenna & Brog are an amazing team. They defeated us 3 – 0 in round five of the tournament and we were looking forward to the possibility of facing them again in an all GGSA final while also fearing this possibility at the same time. Not only are they tremendous debaters, but they’re exceptional individuals as well.
I suppose this should confirm the Norcal Socal debate that was going on before the tournament
“Instead, both finalists … represented the better half of California.”
Whoever wrote this was clearly a Northern Californian
LOL, why was there ever a discrepancy about norcal being better than socal? No one should be surprised that norcal won, O’Dowd is amazing
what college are the odowd kids going to
Carey’s going to UCLA. Kate’s undecided as of yesterday.
They probably won because carey appledorn looks just like the poi man.
No, it looks more like Iain
Rumor has it that the original POI man was supposed to represent Artem, but I’d have to agree that it looks more like Iain than anyone else.
Congrats to Kate and Carey! What a dominating season; perfect to be capped off with a well deserved state championship.
I have more of a beatles-cut than POI Guy, don’t I?
POI man looks just like Carey. Does UCLA have a debate team?
kates undecided between what colleges?
John Wooden would be jealous of Carey and Kate’s dominance.

UCLA has a parli team.
how do this year’s champs compare to last year’s?
WHat college is kate drew going to?
