Large Mixed: I believe the results of this will be very similar to the NEJ comp with Brio, Imagination, and Sound Surge. For The Classics have been on a rise this season and the last earning 7 GC's, Brio will have to work hard to beat them but I believe it's entirely possible for Brio to sweep.
Middle Mixed: Gold Horizons has crushed the competition in their own division and has the ability to go toe to toe with some large division groups, I wouldn't be surprised to see them make it in top 5 overall. Sumrall did considerably well this past week at Homewood defeating nearly every group in their division whilst being the only group from Mississippi. Although I don't believe Company will beat Gold Horizons I feel they've improved since MSSCC and can beat Center Stage.
Single Gender: With both Bellas and Esprit dominating in the single gender division undefeated I think both have a good shot at 1st in their division, however, with Esprit going up against tougher opponents I feel they're better prepared.
Small Mixed: With New Era, Showstoppers and Orange Sensations each winning 1st in their division they have a good shot at competing for top 3.
Tier III:
First Place: West Marion "New Era"
Second Place: Laurel "Showstoppers"
Third Place: Wayne County "Orange Sensations"
4th Place: Clinton Christian "Extreme"
5th Place: Warren Central "Total Sound"
6th Place: Purvis "Pizzaz"
Women's Division:
First Place: Wheaton Warrenville "Esprit"
Second Place: Brandon "Bellas"
Third Place: Crestview "Stardust"
Tier II:
First Place: Northeast Jones "Gold Horizons"
Second Place: Sumrall "Legacy" or South Jones "Company"
Third Place: Sumrall "Legacy" or South Jones "Company"
4th Place: Oak Grove "Center Stage"
** This division could go many different ways. Sumrall tends to do well at comps like this one so don't be surprised if they come in First Place

I wouldn’t be surprised if Brio pulled off a full sweep, but I think historically most Southern groups struggle beating the top Midwest groups, especially in vocals. I also wouldn’t be surprised if The Classics won, I just think Brio will be extremely tough to beat here. West Jones and NE Jones will for sure make finals IMO, they are both very strong this year. The last finals spot is a toss-up but I think it will most likely be WWS “Esprit”.
