Here are the official brackets from chsaanow.com
Class 2A
#1 Bayfield vs #16 Manitou Springs
#8 Moffat County vs #9 Brush
#4 La Junta vs #13 Alamosa
#5 Sterling vs #12 Faith Christian
#3 Platte Valley vs #14 Gunnison
#6 Alameda vs #11 Strasburg
#7 Bennett vs #10 Eaton
#2 Kent Denver vs #15 Academy
Quick Breakdown:
When they use wildcard points as the main factor you cannot complain about the bracket. I was correct putting Gunnison into the field even before their victory over Olathe. The Academy I feel was seeded based on location to Kent Denver. Their will be some great matchups in the first round and will break them down Tuesday.
Class 1A
#1 Buena Vista vs #16 Centauri
#8 Wiggins vs #9 Rye
#4 Monte Vista vs #13 Limon
#5 Crowley County vs #12 Cedaredge
#3 Paonia vs #14 Ellicott
#6 Burlington vs #11 Colorado Springs Christian
#7 Platte Canyon vs #10 Meeker
#2 Resurrection Christian vs #15 Peyton
Quick Breakdown:
I was nearly correct on my picks 1-4 were spot on and those were the easy ones. I should have know better and kept Crowley County as the #5 seed and #6 to Burlington but I changed my mind on those last minute. The only seed I was completely wrong on was the #8 seed. After I posted my predictions I knew it was a reach to give it to Meeker but Wiggins is also very deserving and I think the bracket was seeded spot on and their are some very good matchups.
Class 8-Man
#1 Sedgwick County vs #16 Wiley
#8 Hoehne vs #9 Merino
#4 Sargent vs #13 Haxtun
#5 Springfield vs #12 Vail Christian
#3 Akron vs #14 Kiowa
#6 Dayspring Christian vs #11 Granada
#7 West Grand vs #10 Dove Creek
#2 Norwood vs #15 Mancos
Quick Breakdown:
I am not sure I agree with the bracket here. I don’t see how Mancos gets in over Holly based on key wins, I am guessing they were looking at geography especially the match up between them and Norwood. I had a few teams seeded differently but if you look at location of schools then this was good bracket. There will be some very interesting first round matchups.
Class 6-Man
#1 Kit Carson vs #8 Briggsdale
#4 Arickaree/Woodlin vs #5 Peetz
#3 Eads vs #6 Pawnee
#2 Fleming vs #7 Hanover
Quick Breakdown:
This is going to be a fun bracket. #4 vs #5 was a firework show the first time and I expect the same this time. I believe the top 4 seeds all have a good chance at winning it all.
