2009 California High School State Tournament

[BBALL/FORENSICS 4 LIFE!]

Hey everyone!

Lets post qualifiers/predictions here for the California State Tournament!

My predictions for Oratory:
Tina Nguyen - Gabrielino - Will take top 3

My predictions for Impromptu:
The junior from Leland who won Nationals in Impromptu last year. I do not know his name.

My predictions for duo:

Wizard of Hip - Logan - Will take top 3
Pete - San Marino - Will take top 3
Jungle Book - Leland- Will take top 3
Hercules - Logan - Will final
Shadow Box - Schurr - Will final
Ghetto - San Marino - Will final
Freak The Mighty - Logan - Will final

In my opinion, that would be the ideal final round.

The junior from Leland who won Nationals in Impromptu last year. I do not know his name.

That would be Taman Narayan. He is a senior.

i'm not so sure about jungle book getting top 3...i mean don't get me wrong i love their duo and i think they will final for sure, but i think there are stronger duos than jungle book fighting for top 3.

[ROBOT!]

yet again it's your opinion..and that's just my take.

[BBALL/FORENSICS 4 LIFE!]

You are probably right. I just love those guys though. Even though they are not necessarily going to take top 3 at state, I hope they do because they are such nice people and they deserve it. With all the tough competition in California this year, I doubt they will take top 3, they will final for sure, but I really hope they take top 3!

i disagree. i saw the jungle book at stanford and it was my first time seeing them and they were flawless. then i didnt get to see them at berkeley but i got to see the duo final round and i think, if they were in that berkeley final round, they coulda taken 3rd, maybe 2nd, but probably 3rd.

but robot you are right, everyone has their opinion and come state time, all that will matter is the judges opinion, so who knows lol.

but i am really excited to see the state duo final round! i hope i qual!

I agree wiht BBall's prediction, although I don't see Freak the Mighty in the final round. And Jungle book could be there, but not Top 3. Duo is rough this year. I think Jungle Book could be there, but I think a Gabrielino Duo can make it in there. May "All Aboard hte Marriage Hearse" or "Evil Dead" or "God and Poker". But we'll just have to wait and find out.

Coast Forensic League will have its state qualifier on February 28. This is the league with Bellarmine, Leland, Presentation, and Monta Vista.

You think Hercules will go in Duo? Steven Leal always wins TI, and Coleton Schmitto is always a finalist in his HI. Why put them in Duo when they can get more points putting them in their strong events?
