This was the 16th consecutive year Ranney 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grade performers have participated in the annual interscholastic forensics competition at RCDS, and in keeping with what has become a winning tradition, Ranney garnered 15 of the 20 prizes awarded in Storytelling, Declamation and Dramatic Pairs.
