Well, another year has passed and can you believe that it is District Finals
time already. I have been monitoring several regions around the Country
and I must say, it is going to be a tough Nationals.
There are so many good teams that anyone could get hot at any time. I
for one say that you will not get too far if you don't know your stuff. As
I have been monitoring, few surprises have arose. For those wondering,
the teams from the top last year are on a collision course at nationals.
The early favorites are of course, the defending national champions from
Columbus Ohio. They are strong again but I have to say that team from
Spartanburg, South Carolina looks very strong this year. Those are the
ones that I pick to meet for the championship. That's if something strange
doesn't happen before then.
Other teams to watch, in no particular order are the following. I have
broken up the states into four regions. I know I have probably missed
somebody but you have to be out there on the net.
If I never hear of you or see your results, it's kind of hard to just say that
you are good or could be a contender. On the other hand, there will always
be sleeper teams that hang around. They sneak into nationals under the
radar and then doing major damage at the nationals. That will have to
wait for now. So here is my regional list. Again not a complete and I
know that I probably left someone out.
West
Oregon City, Oregon
Loomis California
Concord California
Eureka California
South
Denham Springs Louisiana
Cooper/Pine Forest Texas
Living Way Texas
Spartanburg South Carolina
East
Fond Du Lac Wisconsin
Fayetteville North Carolina
Newark Delaware
Chesapeake Virginia
Central
Columbus Ohio
Cincinnati Ohio
Desoto Missouri
Mattoon Illinois
Again, these are the teams that have had plenty of success
this year. This is not a complete or for sure list. As always,
