We learned a lot about team work and the law system. The Brahma Foundation and Brahma Boosters, both parent groups at DBHS, contributed to the trip funding. DBHS loaned the team the rest of the money, which the team is still working to pay back. This is the second time the Mock Trial Team has gone to the state competition. Thomas, Assistant Coach Joe Moran, and a few parents went to Sacramento with the team.
Parents bring food to the kids during practice at least once a week.
DBHS also shows its support to the team by recognizing its accomplishments at rallies and printing school newspaper articles about the students' accomplishments. Thomas said the team grew close in those Three days at the state competition. The team also learned that the work paid off. They know they could have just as easily been number-one team. It is very subjective.
