I've been following North Central all year (ok I'm kind of a fan) but I wouldn't count them out yet...their finals performances are always WAY better than prelims. Unfortunately due to bad scheduling, they have a lot of people out because of a big speech meet. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Whether they win or not, at least their show is innovative and really fun to watch. If nothing else, they know how to entertain with style! I'll be waiting to see the results.
