It would be interesting to see Hebron’s results next year against Indy bands like Carmel and Avon given their 2 consecutive BOA SA titles, but the past has little to say about a program’s future.
If you made finals at both and you’ve become more consistent in making it(especially when it comes to BOASA) as Pearland has become, you stand to fare pretty well at Grand Nats! You want your first trip to be as successful as possible for the students, it’s a reasonable rationale
