Class 3A Girls Basketball League Predictions
I know a bit late but at least wanted to get my Predictions down. I am just going to give my league predictions of the order and go into more depth next week. I will be updating my Class 1A stuff tomorrow and have the On the Mat Rankings out today as well.
Confluence League
#1 Lotus School
#2 DSST-Byers
#3 Addenbrooke Classica Academy
#4 Strive Prep
#5 DSST-College View
#6 Aurora West College Prep
#7 DSST-Green Valley Ranch
#8 William Smith
#9 DSST-Conservatory
Confluence League Predictions
League Champion: Lotus School
Dark Horse: Addenbrooke Classical
Playoff Contenders: Lotus School and DSST-Byers
I think the top 2 teams both get into the playoffs. The #3 and possibly #4 teams will have a shot but they will have to dominate the rest of the league and win some non-league games.
Colorado League 3A/4A
#1 Aurora Central (4A)
#2 Weld Central (4A)
#3 Thornton (4A)
#4 Englewood (3A)
#5 Eagle Ridge Academy (3A)
#6 Fort Lupton (3A)
#7 Arvada
My Predictions for the Colorado League
League Champion: Aurora Central
Dark Horse: Englewood
Playoff Contenders Class 3A: Englewood
Frontier League 3A/2A
#1 The Academy
#2 Platte Canyon (2A)
#3 DSST-Montview
#4 Bennett
#5 Lake County (2A)
#6 Bruce Randolph
#7 KIPP Collegiate
#8 Middle Park
#9 Pinnacle
#10 Sheridan
#11 Jefferson
#12 Arrupe Jesuit
My Predictions for the Colorado League
League Champion: The Academy
Dark Horse: Bennett
Playoff Contenders in Class 3A: The Academy, DSST-Montview, Bennett
Playoff Contenders in Class 2A: Platte Canyon and Lake County
The Colorado League has a good shot at getting 3 teams into the Class 3A playoffs. The top 5 all most dominate the bottom half of the league and should get 3 teams in. Class 2A both Platte Canyon and Lake County will have a shot if they can finish in the top half of the league.
Intermountain League
#1 Centauri
#2 Pagosa Springs
#3 Alamosa
#4 Bayfield
#5 Montezuma-Cortez
My Predictions for Intermountain League
League Champion: Centauri
Dark Horse: Pagosa Springs
Playoff Contenders: Centauri and Pagosa Springs
I think just 2 teams get into the playoffs in the IML. Bayfield could be the surprise team but we will need to see if they can get by Alamosa. Alamosa could have a down year this year but are young and could improve by the end of the season and push for a final playoff spot.
Metro League
#1 Lutheran
#2 Colorado Academy
#3 Machebeuf
#4 Prospect Ridge Academy
#5 Peak to Peak
#6 Manual
#7 Kent Denver
#8 Skyview Academy
#9 Faith Christian
#10 Jefferson Academy
#11 St. Mary’s Academy
#12 Stargate Academy
My Predictions for Metro League
League Champion: Lutheran
Dark Horse: Prospect Ridge
Playoff Contenders: Lutheran, Colorado Academy, Machebeuf, Prospect Ridge, Peak to Peak
I would say the Top 5 teams all have a very good shot at reaching the playoffs. The #6 and #7 teams are a bit more on the bubble teams and would have to find a way to separate themselves from the bottom half of the league.
Patriot League
#1 University
#2 Platte Valley
#3 Eaton
#4 Brush
#5 Sterling
#6 Resurrection Christian
#7 Estes Park
#8 Frontier Academy
#9 Liberty Common
#10 Strasburg
#11 Valley
My Predictions for Patriot League
League Champion: University
Dark Horse: Brush
Playoff Contenders: University, Platte Valley, Eaton, Brush, Sterling, Resurrection Christian
The Patriot League is once again one of the top Leagues in Class 3A. I think the top 6 teams all have a good shot at making the playoffs and would even consider the #7 team as well. Plenty of tough teams in the Patriot league this season.
Tri-Peaks League
#1 Vanguard
#2 St. Mary’s
#3 La Junta
#4 Manitou Springs
#5 C.S Christian
#6 James Irwin
#7 Ellicott
#8 Lamar
#9 Salida
#10 Woodland Park
#11 Florence
#12 Buena Vista
My Predictions for Tri-Peaks League
League Champion: Vanguard
Dark Horse: James Irwin
Playoff Contenders: Vanguard, St. Mary’s, La Junta, Manitou Springs, C.S Christian
I would say the Top 5 teams all have a good shot at making the playoffs. Whoever ends as the #6 team will be on the bubble but also have a good shot. For the first time in a few years the Tri-Peaks is anyone to win.
Western Slope League
#1 Delta
#2 Moffat County
#3 Coal Ridge
#4 Basalt
#5 Roaring Fork
#6 Grand Valley
#7 Gunnison
#8 Aspen
My Predictions for Western Slope League
League Champion: Delta
Dark Horse: Coal Ridge
Playoff Contenders: Delta, Moffat County, Coal Ridge
The top 3 teams should all get into the class 3A playoffs. The #4 team will be a bubble team but should be in the mix if they can sweep the bottom half of the league.
