2005 MSHSAA State Tournament
After looking at the scores on the MSHSAA website, it seems as if scores are down this year, especially in class 2. In the morning rounds, there were only 5 games where a team scored over 500 this year. Where the questions harder than last year?

It seems to me that Ratzinger is a quality choice for the papacy.

Also, I get the feeling that he will not take the present clergy sex abuse scandal lightly. He does...

Hey Jimmy, since when did almost half of the teams in your district have a team? (U City, CBC, McCleur North, Incarnate Word, DeSmet? I never played against any of them. Maybe McCleur? The only team you have to beat is Ladue. That will be a tough but you all can probably do it.

No, actually they hold two a year. They try a different format each time. It is kind of weird, their team is not really very good and you never see them at other tournaments, but they have two of their own every year.
