I'm not talking about spots 1-8. This is for spots 9 and 10: The two best teams that didn't get past districts.
I'm now inclined to go Priory instead of Lexington.

9) Priory
10) Ava

My guess would be to make a high-resolution snapshot. Then when compressing, the lettering should remain somewhat legible.
A square photo to begin with would help. My brother's pic was wide.
