Mock Trial Team Competes

The young and inexperienced Mount Mercy Academy Mock Trial team competed recently.  The team faced Williamsville North and represented the defense.  Senior Dominique Khoury (Buffalo) and juniors Megan Amicone (Buffalo) and Isabella Maloney (Lakeview) served as lawyers.  Junior Madison Serafini (Buffalo) and sophomores Addison Barth (Hamburg) and Charli Debose (Buffalo) portrayed witnesses. Despite the loss, Coach Steve McCrea was pleased with his team's performance.

The team also faced off against Orchard Park, this time as the prosecution.  Despite a strong effort, the team lost. Juniors Jill Schneck, Catherine Klodzinski and Alexis Garmong of Buffalo represented Mount Mercy as lawyers.  Three freshmen, Novella Keem and Abby Kopf of East Aurora, and Isabelle Reaska of Orchard Park played the role of witnesses.
