Oh man, I was really pulling for Lake Oswego (I’m in that area pretty often for work), but they did well overall. I like seeing out-of-state teams come in too, and they held their own this tournament, St. Mark’s, a Texas team, even finished 6th.

Congrats to Santa Margarita. Dominated the whole tournament

Solid work from Lake Oswego! Refreshing to see some out of California teams representing atop the podiums.

Agree on Lake Oswego Oregon. I think most people expected SM to win the tournament. I don’t think anyone had Lake Oswego on the podium unless you ask someone from Oregon. Congrats.
