The Northwest Indiana NFL District Tournament series concluded last week, and five Plymouth High School students have advanced to this year's NFL National Tournament to be held in Dallas, Texas during June. Senior Bryt Hiatt advanced to the national finals for the third consecutive year in USA Extemp - hoping to improve on his Top Thirty finishes the last two years. Bryt won his event by earning 1st place scores from all five of his judges in the final round (and scoring a nearly perfect day in his four preliminary rounds as well.) Junior, Patrick Felke is making his second visit to the national tournament by virtue of his first place finish in International Extemp. Senior Sean Hatfield and junior Jason Pickell also earned a spot at nationals by virtue of their first place finish in Duo. Michaila Nate had already advanced to nationals in the Senate competition, which was held in January.
