Girls Basketball Class 2A Regional Projections Week 7

Girls Basketball Class 2A Regional Projections

For my projections I am using the CHSAA Seeding and Selection Index. I am going to be predicting the District Champions and may just give a quick reason as to why I picked each District Champion. If you are a District Champion ranked in the top 16 of the Seeding Index you will automatically host a regional. Remember to qualify for Regionals you must be ranked inside the top 32 or win your District. I won’t be picking the 8 teams I think make it to state until later in the season.

Class 1A

District must unanimously agree prior to the season on their own seeding criteria. If an agreement cannot be met, district Seeding will be done by the CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index (50% Maxpreps & 50% RPI). Maxpreps and RPI will run through Districts.
District Winners (8) advancing to the 32-team state bracket. District Champions are guaranteed a top 8 (host slot) as long as they are in the top 16 of the CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index after Districts.
Remaining 24 teams are filled in by the CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index published after Districts. Any team moved up to the 1-8 slots if a District winner is not in the top 16, will be true seeded 1-8.
Seeding criteria for the 32-team state bracket-CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index published after Districts. Seed 9-16 are true seeded except to try and avoid league matchups in the FIRST ROUND ONLY. Teams may be moved one spot up or down. Teams 17-32 may be moved two spots based upon geography and league/district matchups.
First two rounds of the state tournament (Regionals) will be hosted by the top seed in the quadrant of the bracket, over two days. (4-teams total)
Teams will be reseeded prior to the final week-state championship (Final 8). The CHSAA Index published after Districts will be the only factor for State Seeding.
Top 8 teams will advance. Class 1A Great 8 will play a Consolation Bracket.

District Tournament Winners

District 1: Sanford

I think District 1 will be a very close district this season. Sanford is the early favorite but I think will be challenged by Monte Vista, Center, Sargent, Del Norte, and Trinidad. (I believe this district will be seeded by the Southern Peaks League Standings & head to head matchups, if I am wrong message me)

District 2: Merino

Once again District 2 will be tightly contested with 4 teams currently in the top 16 of the seeding index. Merino is the favorite but I expect them to be challenged by Akron and Sedgwick County. (I believe this district will be seeded by the Southern Peaks League Standings & head to head matchups, if I am wrong message me)

District 3: Mancos

The winner of District 3 may be the only team to get into Regionals. This is a weak District currently with just 1 team inside the top 32. Mancos, I believe walks thru District they could be in risk of not hosting but currently sit at #13. (I believe this district will be seeded by the Southern Peaks League Standings & head to head matchups, if I am wrong message me)

District 4: Dayspring Christian

Dayspring Christian is my pick to win this district. Dayspring Christian grabbed a nice win over Heritage Christian. Loveland Classical and Campion Academy could also be in the mix along with Heritage Christian. (I believe this District will be seeded by the Seeding Index, if I am wrong send me a message.)

District 5: Rangely

Rangely is currently the only team inside the top 16 of the Seeding Index. Plateau Valley and West Grand should challenge Rangely for the District Crown. (I believe this district will be seeded by the Western Slope standings, if I am wrong message me)

District 6: Hoehne

Hoehne is my early pick to win the District. Las Animas and Fowler look to be the main challengers. (I believe this district will be seeded by the Santa Fe league standings, if I am wrong message me)

District 7: Denver Christian

Denver Christian is my pick to win the district. Gilpin County appears to be the main challenger for the district crown. (I believe this District will be seeded by the Seeding Index, if I am wrong send me a message.)

District 8: Limon

I had a hard time picking a winner of this District. I truly believe Simla, ECA, Limon, and Burlington can all win this District. I am going with Limon because I have them ranked #3. I think in the next few weeks we will see some teams fly up the Seeding Index. (This district will be seeded by head-to-head contests and ties will be broken by seeding index.)
