Re: Next Year
Brookwood retains most of their scoring, as three of their top four were Juniors. They should be a strong team. I agree with the others that Brookwood, James Island, and Dorman are the cream of the crop for the south, as of now at least. Alpharetta has a good chance to win JV. THe South is losing a...

Will the playoff questions be from the same writers?
How many rounds will be played?
Any information on lunch?

Re: Georgia 2007-2008
Since no individual scores are kept at state tournaments, it would be extremely vague and subjective except for one or two obvious ones. Besides, most of the GA coaches on this board are anti-individual.AlphaQuizBowler wrote: Are All-State teams still voted on each year?
