Based on the scores it looks to me like Seven Lakes was definitely split (and Clements and LASA as well).MyMomIsOkra wrote:Do you know which teams stacked and which didn't?

Division B:
1. Beckendorff
2. Riverwood
3. Tays
Division C:
1. Seven Lakes
2. Clements
3. Tompkins
For those who don't know, Tays is a new JHS from Katy that (I think) feeds into Tompkins. Glad to see a new school doing so well; they were winning a ton of medals!!!

Re: Texas 2017
Also, is Tompkins a strong school? I don't think they placed as a team as state last year, but here they are getting third at Cyfalls, no mean feat...

They got 5th at state last year, narrowly losing to TAMS. I think they're one of the best teams in Texas behind SL/LASA/Clements and only trending upwards, especially with the emergence of Tays. Within a few years I think they'll be contending for a spot at nationalsMyMomIsOkra wrote:Also, is Tompkins a strong school?

Re: Texas 2017
Tbh I'd be surprised if any school knocked off the Clements/LASA/7L trio anytime soon out of the top 3 at states, but it's nice to see Texas become a more competitive and nationally renowned state in SciO. Although idk if the strength of the middle school team really transfers over to the high school level, cuz I know a lot of the LASA team in '15 didn't do SciO at KealingAdi1008 wrote:They got 5th at state last year, narrowly losing to TAMS.

Ok, so I go to Seven Lakes Junior High, and a lot of us are going to Tompkins, including me. However, Tays beat us at Cy-Falls, because most of the Tays team is from Woodcreek, and their current coach was the former Woodcreek coach so :/.
