abtwitch Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'm surprised there isn't a thread for this yet, but at the same time not really. 24 bands advance from region (Wichita Falls and Abilene Cooper advance by default due to 2 from each region rule, 22 other 1s), 4 state spots this year. I fully expect El Paso to take all the state spots, with my top 4 being: Bel Air J.M. Hanks Eastlake El Dorado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOTS of 112s and 2s, Plainview ended their 81 years 1st division streak. Coronado was the only Lubbock 5A with straight 1s, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtwitch Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Biggest surprise from region for me was Plainview receiving a 2 after a strong showing at BOA Midland. This marks their first 2 after 81 years of sweepstakes. This also knocks out a state spot keeping Area A from 25. Another surprise was just last night when I attended the tail-end of region 6 east. Wylie proved that they are a program on the rise while Cooper received a 2 (which did not surprise me based on their performance, but was disappointing). I see Wylie making finals at Area and maybe even being state-alternate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
