Changes from regional to state:
In DI boys, Boardman lost 1, Tiffin gained 1
In DII boys, Tiffin lost 1, Pickerington gained 1
In DIII boys, everything stayed the same
In DI girls, Boardman lost 1, Troy gained 1
In DII girls, everything stayed the same
In DIII girls, Boardman lost 1, Tiffin gained 1
Only 3 DIII girls teams will be advancing out of Boardman - OUCH! That's what happens when so many schools fail to put 5 on the line at districts. A few teams will be fighting for 1 spot as I believe McDonald and Gilmour are rather likely to advance.
