We won the regional, and then I was like "Huh...so we won..."

First off, thanks to 343, it was great to get together in the finals and take this tournament. I know we had been talking about getting into finals since Friday afternoon, but it was sweet to see how everything fell into place.

1398 played the most strategic defense in the close zone that I have *ever* seen. We(1261/343) would take 80% of our shots from the middle zone, and when we felt like the close zone needed to be swept, we(1261 or 343) would come over into the close zone and clean up. 1398 set up *the best* screens, and the best part about it was that they communicated that they are blocking the bot and that we can score. An absolute pleasure to work with an awesome sleeper.

I want to give props to 1772 for offensively carrying their alliance through the finals. I know that the communication barrier gave them the short end of the stick during the finals selection, but they did the best with what they had, and they are a great group of guys.

Major props to 1379. Not only for collaborating with us for scouting, but also for making second seed alliance captains.

It was a great regional, and we're ecstatic that we came away with the win, and working on the robot for worlds will be a little bit sweeter.
