A- Commerce and Trion will battle it out all season to see who finishes first at State Finals.
Private A is hands down Mt Paran. They are awesome!
AA & AAA are tough classes to call.
AAAA- Carrollton and Veterans both have creativity and the drive to win however I feel like Whitewater and Cartersville could steal the thunder. Whitewater has dropped from 5A so they could come out on top. Pike County has potential too.
AAAAA- Northgate, as always, has the score sheet pegged. Effingham and HOCO didn't max out the last time I saw both of them but they do have good routines. HOCO is very clean. However, Union Grove and Ola both max out too and hit at the Whitewater Competition. Starr's Mill won at Whitewater and max out with a very creative routine. Northgate, Ola, Union Grove, and Starr's Mill live in the hardest 5A region with the most talent. Effingham, HOCO, Northside Columbus, and East Paulding will do well in 5A.
AAAAAA- The North Fulton/Forsyth area dominates and its sad that only 4 of these teams will make it to state. I would not want to coach in this region although the talent level is enormous. West Forsyth, South Forsyth, Johns Creek, Lambert, and Peachtree Ridge are all great. I can't even begin to think of who will win this because it will just come down to state finals day and who makes it out of region.
Coed- McIntosh is the strongest coed team at this point in the season. They are also one of the only coed teams with 16 people on the floor. While they have the talent, I feel they also have the creativity in their routine. However, if Model cleaned up they will do well along with Apalachee, Mill Creek, Chestatee, Troup, and Milton. I haven't seen much from Winder Barrow but in the end they will be great.
