Top 5!
Well with all the New Years top 10's and so forth goin on, I figured I would throw out my top 5 regionals to watch in the 2003 season...
5. J&J Mid-Atlantic Regional: This makes the top 5 just for its history. The team list is lacking of a few of the teams that really made this the best regional in these past two years, but one thing is for certain, teams at this regional come to play, and come to play hard. Not to mention, very physical!
4. Arizona Regional: New regional with some really strong teams. Kingman, Cortez, Gunn, and the Gilamonsters...need I say more? Strongest regional out west, probably will be alot of fun to watch too!
3. Central Florida Regional: I liked the look of this regional's team list when I first looked at it, and the more I think of it, the more I think it will be one of the best this year. With the very experienced Boeing and Astronaut, Aces High, and Heatwave, not to mention a solid core of young teams, it should be a very interesting battle.
2. Great Lakes Regional: Doesn't take a genious to figure this one out. Most midwesterners will say it is the best regional of the year. I probably would have said so to if it was being held in Manchester and the Technokats and Beatty were on the team list. Either way though, these are some of the best in the country, all eyes will be in MI that weekend.
1. BAE Systems, Granite State Regional: Manchester NH, thats all I have to say! The return of FIRST to Manchester is going to be one of the best. The best teams from New England and beyond will be there. Though I was slightly dissapointed not to see Rage on the list, the rest of the field is pretty much all experienced and known to be extremely physical if the need be. Should be one for the ages to open up the FIRST regional season!
Happy Kickoff to all!
