Any predictions for AAAAA?
-
I would like to offer my prediction but this one is tough.
You have to like Northgate because they traditionally own the mat. Houston has the experience from last year but repeating is one of the toughest things to do. The target is bigger in year 2. I like McIntosh as the dark horse. They are steadily becoming more consistent and better each week. I plan for everyone to hit in this division so it will come down to being clean and energy.

I think 5-A this year is going to be more of a toss up than in recent years. You've got p and coming teams that look to break up the monotony at top 6 like effingham, east Pauling and even Lee county stepped up in recent weeks. You still have Northgate and Houston but whitewater and Starr's Mill and mcintosh IMO haven't looked as good as recent years. They could be holding back so not to write them off but look for a some new faces called to the floor.

I will agree with you on Whitewater and Starr's Mill for sure, but McIntosh looks stronger this year and way more cleaner than they have in the past. They looked amazing at Northgate this past weekend and they gave Northgate a legit run for their money the weekend before. Now do I know what the outcome is going to be, absolutely not. But they do have a good shot as well.

I guess I just haven't heard a lot about mcintosh this year. Only 3 weeks till it all matters. Good luck to all.

I think that Effingham may surprise a lot of folks. There's lots of talent maxing out every area and really had a lot of energy and enthusiasm at Northgate, beating Starr's mill. This is a team we've heard a lot about as far as winning and being grand champs every week (even though it all depends on the competitions you attend of course). Looking forward to seeing some new teams this year- not anything against the perennial powerhouses that we see, but it's always exciting to see new teams step up and hold their own.

Cheerub-
I have heard actually quite the same but I haven't seen them. I will see a video soon actually. Teams like that are a breath of fresh air! Good to see talent being spread out. If it matches the scoresheet and has lots of energy, then you definitely have a shot. My worry with teams like that are they know hey have a shot, there is added pressure, they aren't use to it, the state mat is a whole different beast, are they prepared?? You know what I mean...
Best of luck to them though, excited to see this division!

Houston looked very off today, Lee hit but left a lot to want. They don't max on everything. If the Houston I saw at Ola shows at state easily would be over Lee. Northside looks ok but doesn't have a lot either. Other teams were not even close. Region is next week. Ready to start setting the state lineup!!!! Any other 5a results this weekend?
I heard northgate lost to Starr's mill in mcintosh? What happened there?

I'm pretty sure Lee maxes out on everything but standing tumbling. I've only seen one team max out on everything and that was Mcintosh. Starrs Mill doesn't max out on either standing or running. Last I saw Northgate they didn't max out on standing tumbling, even though their standing tumbling portion looks set up to be maxed out. Hoco doesn't max on running. They did one comp I saw, but the fourth full busted so looks like they took her out. Tumbling seems weaker this year in AAAAA... But strong stunting! It's going to be a great two weekends of cheer! Could be anyone at state!

I have heard so much about Effingham and the potential they have! I just want to see a video of them. Do you know if there is one out there?

Top 3 (in alphabetical order)
Houston
Lee
McIntosh
HOUSTON doesn't look as clean this year. Doesn't look like the team that won State last year.
LEE keeps getting better. I heard they have beat Houston twice this season.
MCINTOSH looks real good this year and has a lot of energy on the mat. Great execution. Do they max out? Strong contender.

UMMMMMMMMM sorry but no NORTHGATE?? STARRS MILL?? EFFINGHAM??
I actually think two of my above teams will sneak into the top 3 before Lee. Starrs Mill edged out Northgate this past weekend at McIntosh but Northgate also had a drop. It was Northgates first loss. Northgate doesn't typically drop. I can assure you they will have that fixed. I like Lee, don't get me wrong, but I don't believe they max, and in this ballgame, you got to max to be in the top 3
-
Like I said before, Starrs Mill and Northgate did not max either last I saw them. Northgate did not max in standing tumbling and Starrs Mill did not max in either standing nor running tumbling. Lee does not max on standing tumbling, just like Northgate. I know Houston Co. is the same as well. McIntosh is the only team I have seen to max in all areas. I have not seen Effingham, so I don't have any thoughts on them. I think it could be any teams' day at state. I am looking foward to it!
-
Sounds like McIntosh is the only one maxing! More power to them! Hope they hit! They were a perennial powerhouse back in tide day. The coach there has done a great job building it back up!
-
After watching the competition at Mcintosh this weekend I now see that Northgate and Whitewater both max out in all tumbling therefore they will stay strong as powerhouses for 5A. Region 4 is a tough region because all those teams are strong but if I had to pick my top 6 state qualifiers this week I would say Mcintosh, Northgate, Whitewater, Lee, Houston, and Effingham would be my guess for the top 6. East Paulding could also slip in the top 6 if one of those teams don't hit their stunts. Northside, Starr's Mill, Union Grove, and Allatoona don't have the tumbling this year which will hurt them but hopefully they can pull through region.
If I looked at stunts then Mcintosh, Northgate, Whitewater, Starr's Mill, Lee, and Houston all look pretty amazing when they hit.
It is going to be a coin toss, no doubt. It will all depend on what happens at region and then state. Good luck to all the 5A teams this weekend!

Great thoughts and posts! It would have been interesting to see McIntosh go yesterday when Starrs Mill was on like that. I believe with a hit, they would have edged them out.
Were you able to see other divisions, I feel like you shared some good thoughts and didn't know if you had any other thoughts on the day!
Thanks

Carrollton was great, they really have a good routine and some great tumbling. Carrollton would be my 4A pick but I have only seen Veterans one time however they are a tad bit cleaner than Carrollton so if you asked me, it will be a 1-3 point difference if both teams hit. Alexander is pretty good too, very creative routine.
Pike was also impressive with their stunting skills however Central Carrollton is very strong in stunts and tumbling.
Mt. Paran is as strong as some 5A and 6A teams!
The next hardest region is 6A's Region 6... North, South, and West Forsyth with Johns Creek, Lambert, Chattahoochee, and Alpharetta are all good. After seeing these teams September 7th and in the past weeks I have to say Johns Creek is the strongest with North, South, West, and Lambert following close behind. Its sort of sad to see only 4 go to state because they are all really good. Mill Creek is not as strong as they have been in recent years but they are good. Grayson and Newnan are also pretty good. But my top 6 for 6A would be Johns Creek, West Forsyth, South Forsyth, Lambert, Mill Creek and Newnan. Again, thats just an opinion because I haven't seen all of them compete against each other.
-
I know for a fact that Effingham is maxing in all areas too- surely there's a video from the northgate comp. seen their routine a few times now and just love watching them- very entertaining and high energy.

I agree with you about effingham. I believe they could possibly crack the top 6. Not sure where they would fall once within that. It's hard to say beyond top 6. I believe favorites like McIntosh, Houston, and Northgate have a better chance to be top 3 because their routines are choreographed and coached so well. Nothing against effingham, I just havent' seen them really. Going off of completely what I hear. Would love to have a link to a video and offer my opinion.

Houston has been clean all season except for 2 competitions. I think theres a big mindset difference between a regular season comp and region and state. Never count a top team out because who knows what will happen at state.

Didn't they say Effingham would have still won the HOCO competition if Houston would have actually competed?

Houston competed a very watered down version of the routine (tumbling wise) due to a person being out. they didnt max out in tumbling at all. So they probably did outscore them then.
-
No one knows what Houston scored because their scores were whited out on the master scoresheet. There was an article in the Macon Telegraph that publicized all scores from every division and reported that Effingham did in fact beat Houston across the board.
