Re: Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS

South Carolina:

1) 4451. Won Palmetto as the first pick, quarters in Orlando after a freak drivetrain failure, Palmetto EI, Orlando Innovation in Control.
2) 3490. They're the only other team in South Carolina with a banner this year, winning Rocket City. Sure, they were the last pick of the draft and played alongside Bomb Squad and Robonauts...but hey, I've been there and the banner is just as blue. Scoreboard. (Oh, and they were first-round picks at Palmetto, losing in the quarters to the eventual champs.)
3) 343. Finalists at Palmetto (for the third time in five years), quarters at Rocket City.
4) 1876. Third pick of the draft at both Palmetto (quarters) and Orlando (semis).
3) 2815. They were criminally overlooked at Palmetto by everyone except Frank's Blog, and rightfully a first-round selection at Rocket City where they made semis before running into the 118/16/3490 buzzsaw.
