Last Friday our two teams packed up their bags and headed on down to Albany, MN for the weekend. With the tournament taking place Saturday all day we rested up the night before. Team 4149G had a total of two first year teammates. The day started off fairly well. Team 4149C scored a total of 74 points during the skills event held all morning and up until the semi-final rounds. Our two teams seemed to swap between who was in first place and who wasn't throughout most of the day. By the time the qualification rounds were done team 4149C was in first with 4149G in third place. When choosing alliances just before the quarter-final rounds the C team decided to pick our G team. With a team from Tigeris-Machina as our third alliance partner we competed very well in the quarter-finals and the semi-finals. The three teams became well acquainted throughout the day as well. We went up against what was considered early as the "second alliance" in the finals. Our team ended up losing 2-1. Just for reaching the finals we had an immediate spot in the state tournament later in the season. The C team won the "Skills Award" for having the top score in the entire competition. The G team won the "Excellence Award" as well that day. Soon, we'll be heading on down to the state competition in January.
