Two Lee teams competed against 10 other teams from John Tyler High School, Rockwall, North Mesquite, Longview and Mesquite high schools. Although Rockwall took the top spot, the REL team of Alexander Wick and Cameron Escalante finished in second place and the team of William Johnson and Michael Foley finished in third place (first alternate to State). Due to previous commitments, Wick and Escalante are unable to compete at the State meet, so Johnson and Foley have officially filled the number two slot.
