This year's home regional for our team has been good and bad at moments. We ended up in 5th place finishing strong with 120 and 117 QP's in our last two matches respectivly. However our alliance was beaten in two of three matches in Quarterfinal two. It was tough to get knocked out so early in the eliminations, but in defeat we can learn very much. I feel that of the regionals so far Philadelphia has had the best balance between ball handlers and goals. Props go out to teams 157
Aztechs and team 665 Oakwood. These two could put enough yellow and orange balls into a goal to overcome a 2 to 1 goal differental. The biggest shame though is that the #1 seed and regional winner team 157 can't go to nationals. It simply comes down to a matter of money. Their machine could shoot one ball after another in quick succession with almost 100% accuracy. Well good luck to everyone and see you at nationals.
