| 1. Simla (22-0) | 1 (8 weeks) |
| 2. Plateau Valley (20-1) | 2 |
| 3. Crowley County (21-0) | 3 |

| 15. Monte Vista (14-7) | 16 |
| 16. Burlington (10-10) | NR |
| Notes: No big surprises in the district tournament this year. Some teams that had some momentum lost it during the tournament like Loveland Classical. 2A has plenty of teams that can pull upsets any night like Akron, Walsenburg, and Telluride. I think regionals could be very interesting and look forward to some great games. |
