Brazil = Duncanville. Always loaded with stars. Making it to the championship wouldn't be a surprise.
France = South Oak Cliff. Incredible depth of talent. Recent domination. Will be a favorite.
Germany = Carthage. Brutally efficient. Machine-like.
Argentina = Lake Travis. Flashy. Fun to watch. Always has a great leader to rally the troops.
Uruguay = Brownwood. Dominant back in the day. Still competitive and fun to watch.
England = Odessa Permian. Legendary program. Glory days are behind them, but still must-see TV with a highly passionate fan base.
Morocco = C.E. King. Middle of the pack for a long time, but now on a meteoric rise and a real force.
Portugal = Katy. Perennial power. Going through a changing of the guard, Trying to hang on for another run.
Spain = North Shore. Uber-talented. Big rivalry with Katy (Portugal) in recent years. Always a contender.
Croatia = Longview. Incredibly dedicated fan base; multi-talented successes using different styles.
Curacao = Alto. Tiny underdog program who has the potential to make a fun run this year.
Mexico = Calallen. Massive fan base with high expectations every year but haven’t won the big one... yet.
