Class 2A Volleyball Weekly Preview
By Tayler Garcia
In the last week of the regular season we take a look at where all of the 2A teams are at in the CHSAA Seeding Index and how they look in each league. As always, expect some upsets and shifting as we wrap up the final weekend of the regular season.
Black Forest
Three teams are making it to the postseason: Simla, Calhan and Fountain Valley
1. Simla (21-1)
Simla leads the CHSAA seeding index as well as the Black Forest League which they have done since the beginning of the season. With a 21-1 overall record and a 7-0 league record, Simla will now just need to hold off Sedgwick County in tomorrow’s game to hold the number one overall seed going into the playoffs. Simla’s only loss so far this season has been to the 1A team Merino, which means Simla should make some noise this year in the state tournament as they have already gotten wins over many of the top teams who will be joining them this year.
27. Calhan (13-7)
Custer County sits at 27 in the CHSAA Seeding index with a 13-7 overall record and a 6-1 league record, and will be joining Simla in the postseason race. They will play two games to end the season tomorrow, which will be against Crowley County and Custer County.
31. Fountain Valley (12-5)
Fountain Valley ended their season with a 3-0 win over Miami-Yoder and are sitting at 31 in the CHSAA Seeding Index. Fountain Valley is likely to get into the playoffs unless there are several major shakeups that occur but should be joining their league-mates in the postseason.
Out of Playoffs
48. Thomas MacLaren School (12-11)
49. Peyton (4-17)
59. Liberty Tree Academy (9-13)
68. Dolores Huerta Prep (5-13)
70. Monument Academy (2-12)
Confluence League
Out of playoffs
77. Lotus School for Excellence (2-16)
Foothills League
32. Ascent Classical Academy (14-6)
Ascent Classical Academy is sitting at a not so comfortable 32 in the CHSAA Seeding Index. With a current overall record of 14-6, league record of 9-1 and sitting 1st in the Foothills league, their game against Two Roads Charter will be a must win tonight to ensure they make it to the playoffs with a good seed. Since the Guardians are 1st in the league, they will make it to the playoffs regardless, so now it is a matter of getting a beatable opponent for the team in the first round.
30. Loveland Classical (13-7)
Loveland Classical has a 13-7 overall record with a 9-1 league record and are 2nd in the Foothills league. Sitting at number 30 in the CHSAA Seeding Index, Loveland Classical is likely to make it to the postseason but will not want to see very many upsets to avoid being pushed out or lower in the seeding index. The team will have a few games left to end the regular season and will face Nederland at home tonight and then will play in tournament play tomorrow. They will need to win as many games as they can to ensure that they stay in the playoff bubble.
Out of playoffs
45. Golden View Classical Academy (12-7)
60. Addenbrooke Classical Academy (7-12)
62. Two Roads Charter School (9-9)

28. Lake County (11-8)
Lake County currently sits at 6th in the Frontier league with an 11-8 overall record and a 6-5 league record. Sitting at 28 in the CHSAA Seeding Index, the Panthers will be expected to be in the playoffs again this season. To avoid any major shifting though in the seeding, Lake County will need to win their remaining games in the regular season which will be against North Fork and Salida today and South Park tomorrow.
Out of Playoffs
50. Platte Canyon (9-13)
61. Sheridan (10-11)
Lower Platte League
2. Sedgwick County (18-3)
Sedgwick County is currently sitting at 2nd in the CHSAA Seeding Index with an 18-3 overall record, a 6-1 league record and are 2nd in the Lower Platte League.

13. Haxtun (14-7)
With a loss to Weldon Valley in their most recent game, Haxtun moved down to number 13 in the CHSAA Seeding Index. They are currently 14-7 overall, 5-2 in league play, and are 4th in the Lower Platte League. They will face Sedgwick County tonight where a win would move Haxtun up in the seeding index, but a loss should keep them in roughly the same position.
29. Holyoke (8-13)
Holyoke sits at number 29 in the CHSAA Seeding Index, 6th in the Lower Platte League, and have an 8-13 overall record and a 3-5 league record.

Yuma is currently the first team out of the playoffs at 37 in the CHSAA Seeding Index. The team is currently 9-13 overall, 3-5 in league play and are 5th in the Lower Platte league.

40. Wray (8-14)
Wray is currently out of the playoffs sitting 40 in the seeding index, 9th in the Lower Platte league with a 8-14 overall record and a 1-7 league record. Wray will face Wiggins tonight and the biggest hope to make it into the playoffs is with a win against Wiggins .
