Folks...CESA didn't win all of the challenge titles last year: MPSC won in U13G and CSC won in U13B. In terms of being "more competitive", last year most games in the state championship were close to very close; I'm not sure how it's going to get much more competitive.
My guess is that CESA won't win every state challenge cup title in the 2005-2006 season either -- expecting them to would be like expecting Tiger Woods to beat the field every time he plays.
