About
The 2015 Winston-Salem Regional was held Oct. 10 at Wake Forest University. Dobyns-Bennett secured their third consecutive Winston-Salem victory defeating both Nation Ford and Fort Mill.

Analysis
This was the most exciting Winston-Salem regional to date. While many regionals feature new challengers competing against old, established programs. This regional is consistently filled with young, growing programs that aren't fighting to see who can improve from last year, but rather, who will improve the most from last year.

At the top of the pack, Dobyns-Bennett won their third straight Winston-Salem regional champion title, finishing only a quarter of a point ahead of Nation Ford and Powder Springs Regional Champion Fort Mill

We only missed one finalist: Lambert. We strongly considered predicting them in finals, but expected McEachern to be lower and, since McEachern beat Lambert in Powder Springs, we expected Lambert to be one or two out in prelims. Instead they made finals and beat McEachern by almost five full points in finals.

Overall, it was another excellent Winston-Salem competition and we only wish more of these groups would go on to compete at Atlanta and Grand Nats.
