Best of luck to everyone at Benton tomorrow. This is always one of the best-run, most competitive contests of the year, so we're looking forward to how everything shakes out. Personally, when I go to Benton (I think this is my 13th year) I know I will see excellent groups, enjoy great support for each competitor, and eat a delicious hot turkey sandwich. Sometimes it's the simple joys in life that matter the most....
The few times I've been here I have always walked away very satisfied with my experience, this is a great competition!

As always the Top 5 scoring groups make finals and the 6th spot is reserved for the highest 1A/2A/3A group. If a small school group is in the top 5 scoring the next highest small school group takes that 6th spot. Prep groups are eligible for finals.
There are only 5 spots for 4A/pre the last spot is reserved for the top 1A/2A/3A group. Unless I am wrong I thought WDM valley was a 4A school?
I did not know that! I'll edit my predictions then. Has it always been like that?
After seeing some of these shows, here goes the predictions:
GC- CR Jefferson
1RU- CR Praire
2RU- Lincoln Southwest
3RU- IC West
4RU- CR Xavier
5RU- West Des Moines Valley

CR Prairie, CR Jefferson, CR Xavier, West Des Moines Valley, Iowa City West, Waterloo West, and Southwest high schools will be attending this will be a good one!
