Class 1A Baseball Regional Projections (4/28/2025)

Class 1A Baseball Regionals are done a bit different than the rest of the Classes. Class 1A still plays a district tournament with the district winner all qualifying for State. The district winners are seeded 1-5 with the top 4 district winner hosting regionals. If your district has more than 5 teams than they automatically qualify 2 teams. This season District 1, 2, 4, and 5 all automatically qualify 2 teams. The remaining 7 teams will be picked off the CHSAA Seeding and Selection Index.

District Champions Predictions

District 1 Champion Prediction: Dove Creek (16)

District 1 Automatic Berth Prediction: La Veta (10)

Dove Creek is my pick to win the District 1 Tournament. Dove Creek must still face Nucla and Sargent must still face La Veta. But those will be the four teams competing in the District Tournament. Dove Creek has the fast track for the #1 Seed.

District 2 Champion Prediction: Simla (6)

District 2 Automatic Berth Prediction: ECA (14)

Simla remains my pick to win the District Championship. They are playing their best baseball right now. The other team is still up in the air. Kiowa defeated ECA, ECA defeated Elbert, and Elbert defeated Kiowa. Should be a fun District Tournament.

District 3 Champion Prediction: Flatirons Academy (5)

Flatirons Academy and Rocky Mountain Lutheran will play each other in the district finals. Winner will host and loser will hit the road but both teams should get into the regional tournament.

District 4 Champion Prediction: Eads (4)

District 4 Automatic Berth: Holly (8)

Eads snags the #1 seed in the District Tournament with Holly as the #2 Seed. McClave will face Stratton in the opening round and that should be a great matchup. I do think we see some great games in the Semifinals.

District 5 Champion: Haxtun (1)

District 5 Automatic Berth: Akron (2)

The best district in Class 1A. The top 3 teams in the seeding index plus a fourth team in the top 10 in Otis. This will be a grind for the District Tournament. Haxtun, Akron, Merino should be the top seeds and that could help them save pitchers for a deep district tournament run.

First Four Teams Out

Kiowa (16), Springfield (17), Stratton (19), Nucla (20)
