Re: Prediction: Florida's Commissioner's Academic Challenge
Note: I heard all of this secondhand. Hardee won Div III for the 4th time in 5 years. Mrs. Saddler was selected the coach for Team Florida. Congratulations on both of these accomplishments to all the people at Hardee. Martin County (aka South Fork) won Div II for the first time ever. Tom made team F...

Re: Prediction: Florida's Commissioner's Academic Challenge
Sorry Billy, I can't tell you a thing, because I don't really know anything. I saw a few matches after school this year between multiple schools, but I don't know who's on the team. I was just impressed to find out that they even had some sort of a league that encompasses Cheifland, Bronson, Bradfor...

Re: Prediction: Florida's Commissioner's Academic Challenge
I think the format leaves most scratching their heads every year. As far as predictions go, I've seen Hardee with stronger teams than this years version (kudos to Jackson and Gary from past years), but I would still say you guys are the front runners this year. Keep an eye on Suwanee and Levy--I jus...

There seems to be a lack of teams offering to host the SCT, especially in a few regions, particularly the southest. This whole offering to host seems like a Catch-22 to me.
