Congrats to Mineola and ALL THE AWESOME 3A BANDS! This was an incredibly strong field this year!

Couldn’t make it to area today. Looking forward to someone posting who Advanced to finals, and the final results.

Absolutely. People who have never seen Mineola just assume small school = no competition. I guess placing top three at state for the last six times, including four 1st’s, doesn’t carry much weight? Sulphur Springs was top notch last night. Mineola was almost at the top of their game (I’ve seen them perform better). But even if Mineola’s show was flawless, it would have been difficult to beat SS based on how good their show was combined with their size advantage. Great performances from both schools. I like their chances at state!

I’d really like to see the finals sheets for division 2. Mineola (and yes, I’m biased towards them) had a far better performance in finals than prelims, yet plummeted to 6th. That, coupled with winning CG in finals, sounds odd to me.
