Someone correct me on my history - was 2009 the big JC Penny grant? When did that money stop flowing...2012? What happened in 2011?
Really surprised to see that 5416 wasn't able to scrounge up a teacher. It's a shame seeing a RAS team do well 2 years in a row and definitely be building towards a strong program and then have to take a year (or more) off.
Also sort of surprised about 6051 and 6196. I know out at Alamo I talked to their teacher/coach/parent for 6051 and he was excited about learning the ropes to do it better this year (and he had a son on the team, which I would think might be enough to hobble a team a long for awhile) and 6196 has a strong BEST program and they did pretty decent at LSR last year.
