0

The Perrysburg Law and Government Explorer Post has entered three teams in the statewide high school mock
trial competition sponsored by the Ohio Center for Law Related Education.
The case scenario this year presents a Constitutional Eighth Amendment issue when an inmate at a juvenile
detention facility is injured during a food fight. Each team presents both sides of the Constitutional
argument in an attempt to persuade the mock trial judges.
The district competition is scheduled for Jan. 30 in Wood County court. The regional competition is Feb.
20. Teams must win all trials to advance to state competition in March.
This is the 14th year of competition for the post.
Team Patrick Henry includes Emily Cottle, Alex Miller, Will Robinson, Henry Yang, Alex Katko, Megan
Galle, Steven Hugg, Areeb Ahmed and Ryan McConnell.
Team Geek Squad consists of Nehal Methi, Julia Gonzales, Alexandra Phlegar, Noah Rossler, Alisha Ohanian,
Alisa Leong, Sharvari Brahme and Abdur Khan.
Team Food Fighters members are Kaity Laumann, Meric Pope, Savannah Guy, Mahnur Khan, Zack McKenna,
