Mountain Brook girls take their 13th consecutive team title. You have to go all the way back to 2002 to see their last loss-- before that 1999.
Reason For:
1. They have a ethos built around success. A large part of being successful is believing you can. These girls have shown they believe time and time again. Don't believe me? Just interview one of them.
2. They have a best in state 19:02 team average.
Reason Against:
1. The Huntsville girls are close...too close. There isn't but a few points separating them in our virtual meets. For Huntsville to pull off the upset they need to get a 5th runner under 20 minutes.
2. 7A isnt deep up front. A slower 5th runner might not hurt Huntsville as much since there isnt much difference in points between 19:50 or 20:10.
