6th: Norris
Roosevelt is fabulous this year! Don't underestimate them. Lincoln east has one of my favorite shows this year. As for everyone else that's just a blind guess. Dowling has had some stiff competition this year so I can see them possibly jumping ahead.
While I may be a bit biased, Pius could definitely surprise some people. While I'm not necessarily expecting a finals appearance, you never know! Good luck to all the groups!

I don't know much about the others. I've only seen Lincoln East this year, and they definitely have a show to contend with if they have cleaned it between now and UNL
GC- Lincoln East (BC)

2RU- Elkhorn South
3RU- Papillion LaVista
4RU- Norris
5RU- Roosevelt
Based on Lincoln East's performance and 2nd place prelims ranking at UNL this past weekend, I expect a great season from them. Dowling Catholic did incredible things last year and I expect a great season from them as well! Elkhorn South or even Papillion (they are getting better every year!) could sneak up there too.
Well you can expect another leap this year! They have made another great stride and this years show is definitely one to impress this year. I would count them making finals this year From their preview show last December which I'm sure they have improved upon since then. I love Sioux Falls schools <3

Looks like only one venue again this year. It's also a little bit of a surprise not to see Westside or Grand Island Northwest on the schedule. This should be a good one!
