Where did you find the date for State?

In my email from my regional director.

Kraemer comes up from SoCal to sneak first place away from Kennedy at the Churchill Invite today. Good times

Churchill lost their head coach. And Kennedy blew roller. Not sure what this means for SoCal. I'm predicting Kenedy to take the state.

Kraemer over Kennedy is certainly interesting. How were the scores?

Kraemer over Kennedy is certainly interesting. How were the scores?

Kraemer A 87
Kennedy Gold 90
Churchill Gold 136
Churchill Purple 152
Chaboya Red 230
Elkhorn Gold 231
Kraemer B 240
and so on

It was a three point win, and like Random Human said, Kennedy Gold got 23 on Roller Coaster which was over 1/4 their entire score (but got 1st on Kennedy Yellow, their B team, so there's that balancing act to look forward to for Mira Loma in January).

Kraemer put on a heck of a show, though. Kennedy hasn't really been close to anyone like that at an invite for a couple years.

As for Churchill losing their head coach, that may be true but they were still 3rd and 4th, and they don't really stack until states and still lost invites before to Kennedy even when he was their head coach. We'll see how much the change in coaches affects the end result in a couple months.

Impressive by Kraemer, if not so impressive as it seems at first glance. I'd agree that Churchill looks similar to past years. Another competitive NorCal B this year, it seems.

Does anyone have a confirmation for the NorCal tournament date from the TD?

I checked the website but it still seems to show last year (2017)'s information, with April 1st 2017 listed as the tournament date.

[bearasauras]

It'll be on April 14, 2018
