I am incredibly impressed by Mason's national showing. They probably are the best performing first-time nationals team ever. It looks like Ohio may have four powerhouse teams in the years to come, if Mason can keep the momentum from a strong nationals showing.

Congrats to the winners of C, Troy!

Congratulations to Mason & Solon.

Can anyone explain to me how Mason became so good this year? This is truly amazing to see. It also seems like Centerville losing their NSB team really affected the team.

Hey guys, just wanted to ask what you think are the strongest invitationals out there in terms of competition. To be specific, what invitationals bring the strongest Div C and/or Div B schools to the competition? Maybe rank your top 5? I assume it looks like MIT is the cream of the crop, but I'd lov...

Does Solon not let ninth graders in? 9th graders are only on the Division B team. It's been a policy to not allow 9th graders on Division C, just as basically a "non-compete" between B & C. So the class of 2017 is in ninth grade right now, so they didn't graduate yet from div b, like ...

To clarify, there's both a Hawaii invitational and an online one (someone correct me if I'm wrong?). I was referring to the online one, however.

Anyone have the linked results for Iolani this year?

Who would you kick out, then?

Amongst:
DW, Science & Arts, Solon, Mentor Memorial, Meads Mill, Beckendorff, PJG, Shady Side, Booth, Winston Churchill, Muscatel, and Eagle Hill?

On that note, the 1996 National tournament allegedly had a tie for first, but since we don't have any form of results, we can't say for sure. Last year, J. C. Booth Middle School's score was somehow miscounted, so they ended up tying for 12th with Dodgen Middle School last year at Nationals. Withou...
