Texas is it's own section.....

Actually Texas has kids playing in 3 sections. Texas, Southwestern and Missouri Valley due to the distance the kids would have to travel to reach the monthly sectionals.

I was alluding to the secession petition, but maybe that was too obscure an attempt at humor.

I think this forum realizes that Texas is its own section, but thanks for being on top of the fact-checking anyway.

Well, I don't know if GA should be by itself, but I have certainty been a proponent of maybe GA, NC, and SC as a section. That would make traveling A LOT easier!

^^^heard that one too. Got about as much chance as Texas succeeding from the union. Seriously. Although it makes sense it's a pipe dream.

I know, but I can hope! Traveling all the way to Mobile, Al for 18s Southerns this year is not going to be fun.

Very true if you live on the outer edges of the section. We love Moblie and been there many times even though the drive is about 6 hrs. We've only played onced each in GA or NC and never played in SC. Going to KY this weekend, 18s. If you're going in-mail me and we could meet up if you want.

Just for giggles I did some analysis of the B14 southern list a while back, and I remember ciphering about any way you measured it, ga had about 30% of the Market, NC about 22%, and a pretty big gap to the next state (tn 13% or so).

While I have marveled at the level of play in a limit 16 draw in Metro Atl GaL3 tourney, I gotta think a comprabale local tourney in dallas or houston, and has got to at least be equal -
