1. The type of debate that is similar to policy debate, except that it is based on the debater's ability to think creatively and logically, rather than their ability to spew random facts at a rate that makes them sound to everybody except for other debaters like someone who is either vomiting out syllables or is demon-possessed. Generally accepted as the best kind of debate, as it allows the most room for crazy mind-grenade generating arguments. Lincoln douglas debaters are generally acknowledged to be twice as good as either pofo or policy debaters, because it takes two of the other types of debaters to make a team, but only one lincoln douglas debater.

Get the Presidential Debate mug.DeMatha Catholic High School is a private, Catholic four-year college preparatory high school in Hyattsville, Maryland. The only high school run by the Order of the Most Holy Trinity, the school was founded in 1946.
DeMatha is renowned for both academics and athletics. Academically, the U.S. Department of Education recognized DeMatha as a "National School of Excellence" in both 1984 and 1991 (Most schools only receive recognition one year, if any.) Athletically, DeMatha's records speaks for itself. In fact, Sports Illustrated ranked DeMatha as the #2 high school athletic program in the United States in 2005, and former coach Morgan Wootten is a member of the National Basketball Hall of Fame.
As an alumnus, I can say that I never played organized sports for DeMatha. In fact, I participated in the National Honor Society and Mock Trial team, which won the Maryland state championship the year I graduated. We accomplished this by defeating approximately 130 other high schools, all either Catholic, public, co-educational, or some combination of those three.
The athletic program does not recruit its players. The school has 900 to 1,000 young men from the DC Metropolitan Area. Naturally, they have more candidates for all-male sports teams than a smaller, co-ed school. That's just mathematics.
Additionally, I graduated with honors in 2001, and continued my education at a Jesuit university and a Catholic law school. I doubt either of these schools would have accepted me had I received a poor academic foundation during my high school years.
DeMatha's biggest rival is Gonzaga College High School, a Jesuit-run prep school in Washington, and another fine Catholic institution.
