C:
1) harriton
2) Penncrest

Keep in mind that these are NOT official--I heard that Penncrest beat Conestoga by 1 point. If just one event changes, it could very well be Conestoga High School going to Nationals.

I have a question...
Why do some states send two teams from EACH division to Nationals? Is it based on score?

Nationals (usually?) has 60 teams from each division, but not even 50 states send teams, so the remaining dozen or so teams in each division are allocated to the states with the most teams in that division.

Here is the explanation that I typed up on the Number of Teams per State Wiki page:
"Each state organization automatically receives one national tournament invitation for each division. States with the highest registration numbers by division are then awarded a second national tournament invitation, up to a total of 60 teams per division. Currently, there are 48 Division C and 47 Division B state organizations. Thus, the 12 states with the most Division C teams will receive two Division C national tournament invitations, and the 13 states with the most Division B teams will receive two Division B national tournament invitations. In the event that a state organization declines its national tournament invitation for either division, the invitation passes to the state with the highest team registration in that division that has not already been awarded a second invitation for that division. Note that the numbers shown in the table below represent combined Division B and C registrations, and therefore do not necessarily reflect the order in which states will be awarded two national tournament invitations."
