National Predictions

[anon y mouse]

Yeah, it'll be interesting if we'll have the first non-WWPHS win in C division since 2005.

make a run make a run make a run

[dontsenditinthemail]

what does "make a run" mean? Solon and Centerville each seem to be having good years, and Mentor hasn't really been in the picture as much this year as in the past three to four so I don't know how much of a benchmark they are. I would say this year Ohio has two teams that could finish in the top 5, 1 more 8-12, and then like then next three would finish top 25. That being said, those two top five teams seem to be Centerville and Solon, so i don't think this is the year anybody will be making any runs in Ohio other than those two teams (although from what I gather Ignatius does seem to be a program on the rise, a program to watch for possibly in two or three years)

2 troys, that would be awesome...

First off, Ignatius is this year carried by a solid core of 7 seniors and 3 juniors who are basically covering all the slots (no one else is put in more than 1 non-building event for our 1st team before conflicts are taken into account). So two years from now, we might not be quite as strong (hopefully the younger guys will step it up then but it doesn't look too promising).

Anybody know how strong Grand Haven is this year?
Also, has Troy in California competed this year?
