1. Solon #12 (70)
2. Centerville #20 (85)
3. Solon #13 (156)
4. Westlake #16 (161)
5. Centerville #21 (168)
6. Centerville #22 (183)
7. New Albany #32 (187)
8. St. Ignatius #14 (197)

Superscore:
1. Solon (57)
2. Centerville (57)
3. Westlake (151)
4. Sylvania Northview (174)

Did you send split teams for this invite? There’s a disparity between solons scores but you guys also have a good superscore.

From my cursory analysis, Solon doesn't appear to be as split as usual. However, they still had a few of their stronger competitors on their 3rd place team.

There does appear to be a disparity, but with a very small competition like this it could also be mostly random noise. Both of their teams placed well - certainly stronger than they have been earlier this season. Given how well Centerville placed at their home invitational, I was surprised to see Solon win here.

Centerville's 3rd place heli had ~2:14 on a chinook

Thanks

If you look at the strength of competition at Centerville's home invite you could say they also had very small competition then as well, meaning their dominance was also random noise. For Centerville I feel like you can't make a definite judgment from just one previous invite and for Solon you can't judge their strength given the only real competition they faced was Centerville.

I don't agree that Centerville's home invitational "had very small competition." The four top teams from Ohio - Centerville, Mason, Mentor , and Solon - were all in attendance (with 9 teams between them alone), along with a large overall field of 60+ teams.

I agree it's difficult to judge any team's strength from any one invitational. However, I think Solon displayed more strength/consistency this past weekend than they have at earlier invitationals (e.g. Centerville, MIT, Westlake). The West Liberty-Salem Invitational - where Centerville, Mentor, and Solon will face off one last time - will be a chance to confirm (or contradict) this data point. Ultimately, Ohio's State Tournament seems likely to be especially competitive and close this year.

I heard that Mentor is re-organizing their school system next year. Making one of the middle schools a 7-8th grade only for all of Mentor, other 2 middle schools will be 1-6th. Anyone for Mentor know what the plan is for Scioly teams?

If that’s true, I for one am looking forward to the mechanicals not being

1. Shore
2. Shore
3. Ridge
4. Ridge
5. Memorial
6. Memorial

Or a similar permutation

6th grade teams can still do well. There was a 6th grade team in Georgia that was top 5 in the state in 2013 and 2016.

Still requires that they have enough 6th graders to fill a team

There have been 6th grade teams that also take 5th graders that have done well. Wicklund Elementary in California comes to mind as an example.
