Class 3A Regional Volleyball Predictions
Here are my Predictions on who is going to win the 12 regionals taking place this weekend. I will give a quick breakdown of why I am picking each team to win. Full Preview of the Class 3A Regional will be posted later in the week.
Region 1
Winner: Alamosa
Alamosa has been on fire this season. Their lone loss of the year is to #3 Eaton at the beginning of the season. Alamosa has plenty of experience back to advance.
Region 2
Winner: Resurrection Christian
Resurrection Christian took second in the Patriot League with their lone loss also coming to #3 Eaton. Resurrection Christian returns plenty of experience and should be a top team.
Region 3
Winner: Eaton
Eaton dropped from #1 to #3 after playing against 4A/5A teams to end the season. Nearly everyone knows Eaton is the top team in 3A with wins over the #1 & #2 Seeds.
Region 4
Winner: Forge Christian
Forge Christian ended the season on a 13-game winning streak with their last loss coming to #2 Resurrection Christian back in September. Forge Christian was battle tested all season and should advance.
Region 5
Winner: Stargate School
Stargate School was the #2 team in the Metro League behind Forge Christian. Stargate School nearly ran the gauntlet of the Metro but slipped up for Forge Christian on 10/7. Will be interesting to see if Middle Park or Kent Denver could scare them.
Region 6
Winner: Bayfield
Bayfield was second in the tough IML. The IML has three teams hosting regionals. Bayfield is battle tested and will face a pair of teams from the Metro League.
Region 7
Winner: Classical Academy
This could be one of the tougher regionals in Class 3A. DSST-Conservatory is the 3A City League Champions, Platte Valley has great Volleyball tradition, and TCA won the 3A/4A CSML North League.
Region 8
Winner: Sterling
Sterling did not get any help with this regional draw. Lamar has the tradition to challenge a tough Sterling team. Could be a great matchup to watch in the final games of the day.
Region 9
Winner: Gunnison
Gunnison ended the year winning 9 straight matches including a key win over Aspen in October. Gunnison lost was to 4A Montrose in early October. Gunnison has the state tournament experience and should advance.
Region 10
Winner: Centauri
Centauri made the State Tournament last year and could be a huge factor in them getting back this year. Centauri will be tested by Coal Ridge & Brush, but I expect them to advance.
Region 11
Winner: Aspen
Aspen was the co-headliner of the improved Western Slope League this season. They finished second to Gunnison in the league.
Region 12
Winner: Village
Your Class 3A Defending State Champions will look to pull the upset in the Regionals and knock off the host Prospect Ridge Academy. This will also be a tough regional with Montezuma-Cortez also playing in the tough IML and could even shock the world and get to state.
