I will be going to a wedding on Friday so no League Breakdowns for 1A this week. I promise to get all 3 Classes Boys and Girls League Breakdowns done next week. For these projections I am using RPI to seed but picking the District winners to advance. Region 3 by far is the strongest Region in the State in 1A.
Class 1A
Eight Districts, each qualifying two or three (as noted) to three regionals
The #1 and #2 seeds from District 1 and 8 will be paired in 2017-2018 while the #1, #2, and #3 seeds from District 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 will advance to a regional site. Region 2 (4, 5, 7) and Region 3 (2, 3, 6), the nine qualifying teams will be seeded by RPI, avoiding any previous district match-ups. In Region 1 District 1 and 8 #1s will play the other District #2s. Region 1 receives 2 state qualifiers, Region 2 and 3 receive three state qualifiers each.
| School Year | Region 1 | Region 2 | Region 3 |
| 2017-2018 | 1, 8 | 4, 5, 7 | 2, 3, 6 |
| 2018-2019 | 1, 7 | 4, 5, 8 | 2, 3, 6 |
| 2019-2020 | 1, 6 | 4, 5, 8 | 2, 3, 7 |
Each Region shall jointly determine it regional playoff site.
8 regional winners advance to the state tournament where they will be seeded by RPI, avoiding any previous regional or district matchup, if possible.
Class 1A great 8 will play a consolation bracket
Region 1
District 1 Qualifiers: North Park, Ouray
District 8 Qualifiers: Front Range Baptist, Cornerstone Christian
#1 Front Range Baptist vs #2 Ouray
#1 North Park vs #2 Cornerstone Christian
Note: I see some good matchups coming in Region 1. I believe Front Range Baptist and North Park to both come out of this Region.
Region 2 ()=RPI *Region Decides where games will be hosted
The winners of Each Pod Advance to State!
District 4 Qualifiers: Fleming (7), Briggsdale (9), Heritage Christian (10)
District 5 Qualifiers: Arickaree/Woodlin (20), Otis (36), Idalia (22)
District 7 Qualifiers: Edison (30), Genoa-Hugo (26), Elbert (41)
| Pod 1 |
| #1 Fleming vs (winner of #6 vs #7) |
| #6 Genoa-Hugo vs #7 Otis |
| Pod 2 |
| #2 Briggsdale vs (Winner of #5 vs #8) |
| #5 Idalia vs #8 Edison |
| Pod 3 |
| #3 Heritage Christian vs (Winner of #4 vs #9) |
| #4 Arickaree/Woodlin vs #9 Elbert |
Note: District 4 will take the highest seeds in each Pod. District 5 & 7 have much lower RPI and will all be battling a District 4 team to advance to state. I could see all 3 District 4 team advance to State.
Region 3 ()=RPI *Region Decides where games will be hosted
The Winner of Each Pod Advances to State!
District 2: Kit Carson (2), Eads (16), McClave (5)
District 3: Springfield (3), Holly (8), Kim/Branson (1)
District 6: Sangre De Cristo (6), Antonito (4), Sierra Grande (18)
| Pod 1 |
| #1 Kim/Branson vs (winner of #6 vs #7) |
| #6 Sangre De Cristo vs #7 Holly |
| Pod 2 |
| #2 Kit Carson vs (Winner of #5 vs #8) |
| #5 McClave vs #8 Sierra Grande |
| Pod 3 |
| #3 Springfield vs (Winner of #4 vs #9) |
| #4 Antonito vs #9 Eads |
Note: Whichever teams come out of Region 3 will be battle tested. Region 3 is absolutely loaded. 7 Top 10 RPI teams and some of the best teams in the state square off. Each game will be a battle and I really believe only Kit Carson is a lock to escape out of region 3.
