418 just traveled to 2 regionals for the first time in 2009. We have typically traveled to Lone Star Regional in Houston and if it was our year or we qualified, we traveled to the Championship. Last year, we traveled to 2 regionals because of the Dallas Regional and the time frame. Our lead teacher, Mr. Bertucci, thinks very carefully about students missing school and their academic load. We have talked about attending more than one regional for several seasons, but this past season was our first time to experience it. So much was learned.

To travel to 2 (or more), a lot of planning has to go into it and a lot of time and effort given to fundraising, obtaining money, resources, and team support, in order for the team to compete well. It's hard but it can be done. We are signed up for Dallas and Lone Star again this year and the team has worked hard all year long to make it possible.
