The four semifinalists in this year’s DISD mock trial tournament were announced Tuesday night, after four rounds of trials that began on Saturday: Woodrow, Skyline, Booker T. Washington and Hillcrest. The semifinal rounds are scheduled Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Frank Crowley Courthouse on Industr…whoops, Riverfront Boulevard. The winning teams Thursday will square off Tuesday for the DISD championship. Both finalists are guaranteed a spot in the March state tournament. Last year, Woodrow didn’t make it to the DISD semifinals after finishing second at the state tournament in 2008. Meanwhile, Hillcrest advanced to last year’s state tournament for the first time in recent memory, finishing among the top four teams, and Skyline won last year’s state tournament and finished among the top 20 teams at the national tournament.
