Sorry to burst your ignorance but we will have a majority next year. 7 seniors+probably 5 juniors+ 3 sophomores. Seniors is still the majority.srsvball95 wrote:Sorry to burst your bubble, but you can only have a max of 7 seniors per teamM-E-T-H-O-D MAN wrote: Word up, and next year we'll be a majority of Seniors!

If you get last at nats, you still had to have gotten 2nd or 1st at states anyway.zyzzyva98 wrote:I would rather have last at nats. And so would everyone on this forum. Trust me.paleonaps wrote:I kind of try to think whether I would rather last at Nats or just missing it with a third at states?

Re: Will you make it to nationals?
I would definitely rather be last at nats because its not like anyone is going to make fun of you for it, and you still got to go to nats, which would be really cool. I think that this is a pretty easy decision, at least for me.
