The better raked your chapter the more games you get. Crews from every chapter are assigned to the state tournament for at least one game.

The crew in this game were from the Temple chapter (for the non-Texans that's near Waco about 75 miles north of Austin & 150 miles south of DFW). This is not a small town but it is also not a large metro area. There are very few of our larger schools in this area but plenty of schools the size of this game so experience was not an issue.
I thought Smitty just told us it was the NTex chapter ... and why in the world would the Temple chapter work north of Dallas?
