Looks like no one else started this topic, so I guess I will. Anyways this is gonna be a fun area like always. Here's my early season predictions:
1. Coppell - Safe to say they are a lock, coming off of their 4th consecutive Area Championship.
2-3. Keller/Timber Creek - They always seem to go neck and neck during early season contests. TC seems to beat Keller at a lot of early season contests (HEB, BOA Bedford/Prosper) but Keller always figures it out by area. Interchangable but locks IMO.
4-7. SLC, KC, LD Bell, Lake Ridge - The last spot will come down to these 4 bands. SLC can 2-peat a SMBC appearance, KC can advance for the first time in 6A after barely missing state this year, Bell had a rough season. Can they bounce back? And then Lake Ridge, for the first time in a while, is in the state Convo. Very fun show last year and can't wait to see them build on to last year's success.
Finalist Bubble - Halttom, Trinity, Boswell, Martin, Mansfield
