Caribbean and Pacific Northwest dominate again as expected, but some of the individual states get lost in their section so don't stand out as they did before. This results in Southern California, Texas, and Northern California stepping up to fill out the top-5. Southern is close behind and interestingly New England is next.
What sections had the least bumps? Midwest, Intermountain and Missouri Valley lead the way.
So no big surprises given the by state data, but it is good to see it by section.
Hopefully it helps even out the playing field. Playing in the Missouri Valley, I know several teams that are very sold IMHO and worked extremely hard on their games, get smoked in Sectionals. I don't know the last time a Missouri Valley team even made it to Nationals.
ReplyDeleteUmmmmm...A MV team always qualifies for Nationals. I have been twice, and knew guys that went this year.
