We actually were quite good a couple years ago... But we're not better then Ohio now, that's for sure!

WA took 4th in C division in 02 and 03 and 3rd in 05, and took 4th and then 2nd in 08 / 09.

So historically, we have done quite well, yes.

That's true; I forgot about how well Prairie did those years at nationals back in the day.

I know, schools have different teams every year.

Yes, of course teams change. Solon has done well recently, but JC Booth has a much better and more impressive Nationals record. And yet, we rank Solon above Booth. Why? If Booth has actually done much better than Solon overall, why do we rank Solon above Booth? Just something for you guys to chew on.

Probably because Solon's been so dominant over the past couple years. Winning nationals four straight years is no small feat, and their high school team is quite good all the time too, beating out Centerville for the top spot last year.

I probably come off as a bit big headed for speaking so highly of Ohio teams when I'm from here, but I have competed against these guys every tournament since I started SO. I have not been to a tournament where one of them were there that they didn't win.

If forever was referring to overall most competitive then I would agree with her.. But over the past 5 years obviously Solon has been the king of SO.

It's tough being in Ohio you won't be seeing me in Orlando, that's for sure. (You might see me at OSU though)

That it is. What school are you from(not to be creepy)? West Liberty here, getting ready to head up to Mentor for tomorrow.

Im from pick central. Not a very competitive school in the past, but the class of 2015 is changing that! Our division b school, ridgeview, hadn't been to states since the 80s, but yours truly, and my friends sent them to osu for the past two years hopefully we can do the same now that we are in division c. We'll see I guess.
Do you go to states usually? (and no, i'm not going to mentor. Wsu was all the invitational I can handle this year)

Ahh, I've seen you guys before methinks. I think our high school team has always made it to state, might have missed once(in 5 years of existing). Piqua regionals is fairly soft competition compared to invites(no offense to anyone there). Centerville wins it, Beavercreek normally takes second, and WLS/Alter/Northmont can all beat each other on any given day. Last year we sent 4 teams to state and we went with Alter, but this year 5 will go.

Just got back from Mentor, well ran tournament actually. Awards got off nicer than WSU, I got home at 10 from both, but WSU is an hour away, and Mentor is 3-4, depending on how fast you drive.

well good luck then, it sounds like you guys have a good chance of advancing
If you do, I can cheat off you in remote sensing. I suck at remote sensing
