GC: Riverside (BV/BC)
1RU: Ankeny (BB)
2RU: Iowa City West
3RU: GINW
4RU: GISH
5RU: Ralston/LSW
The 2RU thru 4RU is a toss up. It just depends on who's the most prepared this early in the season. I honestly think ICW GINW and GISH are going to have an awesome compitition with themselves.
GC. Hastings
1RU. Ankeny
2RU. Grand Island Northwest
3RU. Iowa City West
4RU. Grand Island Senior High
5RU. Lincoln Southwest
Hastings sweep.
I think that the top two are pretty set in stone unless someone comes out with a killer show.
I also think that 2RU-5RU could go many different ways. Most of these groups will be making their debut with many bugs to work out in their show. But if the groups I listed 2RU-5RU are anything like they were last year, this competition is in for a very close, competitive finish.
Another interesting factor is that there are many groups that could make finals in the 4RU/5RU spot. Don't count out Millard West, Lincoln East, Norris, or Central (assuming it is Keller, TX?). Millard West, usually a Nebraska stand out, had an off year last year and I'm sure they're looking to jump back into the mix. And Norris is that pesky Nebraska group that jumps in when they seemingly shouldn't be there.
This should be a fantastic competition and good luck to everyone attending.
