I think its gonna be another close one between TJ and RP this year, key members from each team left, and we could be fighting for a second nationals bid this year so maybe a new team could make it!
Maybe... but keep in mind that last year, Indiana had 97 Div B enrollments and Missouri had 96 enrollments. It's possible there won't be a second nationals bid to fight over, and even if things remain the same, both Thomas Jefferson and Raymond Park have dominated in Indiana for the last three years. Last year, Indiana saw a wide margin between 2nd and 3rd. I feel it's reasonable that Raymond Park upsets Thomas Jefferson, but one or both are certain to be at NC State University by May.

Consider those my early predictions

That one hurt just a little bit and I'm not even from there lol

Anyways, for div B if TJ can keep their internal issues to a minimum then I think they'll win but if they don't it's probably not gonna be good for them. Whether they will or not I have no clue. As for div C I have a feeling of Munster pulling it out this year, but Carmel will probably be great as they have been. Bloomington South may just have had a peak year last year, but we don't really have any way of telling unless we have insider info lol. If they're still climbing then they definitely have a shot tho.

What sort of internal issues does TJ have? Am I just in the dark or was this already known?

Rip I didn’t even notice that and I’m from there :P

Also I said this in the way too early predictions thread, but Carmel is kind of like TJ on this, as long as internal issues stay at a minimum, they should be good to go. One of Munster’s coaches left, and based on the one that did leave, it’ll probably be a heavy blow to their team at least at the start. Not to say that they can’t recover, but it may be impactful on their performance. I'm not sure of how though, like if it won't affect them at all or if it will wreak havoc.

I feel like Carmel has a strong chance to win again this year. They didn't lose very many people, and I heard that their younger people are pretty strong. It will be interesting to see how Munster does this year though, given that they lost a few strong members. I still wouldn't count BHS out of top 3 (maybe this is just because I don't know anything about them). However, I have a gut feeling that BHS won't crack top 2 this year.

Raymond Park Invite will definitely be interesting. Although definitely not a prediction for State rankings, I expect BHS North to do well. Carmel should be decent but I've heard they've lost a lot of seniors.
