Hillsboro High School Trojan forensics will compete Saturday in state championships.

The Trojans will manage the 3A state meet at Wichita East High School, said coach Terry Bebermeyer.

The team will have 13 students in 16 events in championships, and another student participating in state festival.

Students qualify for state championships by placing first or second at a meet. A few large meets also offer third place winners a chance at state, Bebermeyer said.
