Fun? Maybe for you guys, but - well, just look at my location. :P The way Kansas is, you never know if a team will run away with a surprise win, but you don't know if you'll be that team, either. I guess we'll know soon enough.

It may seem a little biased, but id say the same for Division B out here. Div C is pretty much locked up and at best 2 teams are capable of winning, but especially if we get 2 spots at nationals IF somebody drops, there are really like 5-6 teams in the running.

Georgia was surprisingly close this year.

The difference between 1st and 2nd
was less than 10 pts. We're of course still not very competitive on a State scale,

If "competitive" is defined as having most rivalry between schools at State, Idaho could qualify. There are some schools who always do well at State and HATE each other. One of them usually won, and the other was obsessed about beating them. Also, since my school won last year, the former champion hates us too.

Idahoans, you know what I'm talking about.

North Hollywood is really good too
it's just that Troy is so good they always get edged out

Hate... I wouldn't go that far. Maybe really intense rivalry... then again sort of intense rivalry... okay no deep rivalry, other than trying to keep our title.
We're too lazy to hold real rivalries.

^ This. It wasn't that bad in the C division, Mainly because my school didnt really have that much competition. But in B, its a completely different story. Congrats on winning last year though! That should be considered an accomplishment! Usually it's really hard to beat them, and sure enough, whenever someone does defeat them, it's like a declaration of war. It gets nasty.....
