The Tennessee State High School Mock Trial Competition wrapped up Saturday night with Montgomery Bell Academy of Nashville prevailing over Agathos Classical School of Columbia to become the 2022 state champion. New Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Sarah Campbell presided over the round while members of the YLD Executive Committee and TBA Board of Governors — including President Sherie Edwards and President-elect Tasha Blakney — served as jurors. At an awards ceremony earlier in the day, Unicoi County High School received the competition’s Sportsmanship Award, the top eight teams were announced, and the top advocates and witnesses were recognized with individual awards. MBA will now represent Tennessee at the National High School Mock Trial Competition, which will be held virtually on May 5-7. The team is coached by attorneys Wade Cowan — who has coached mock trial teams for 38 years — and Tracy Hancock.
