Class 1A Boys & Girls Basketball Regional Projections Week 11 (Saturday Morning Update)
Remember to qualify for Regionals you must be ranked inside the top 32 or win your League (If you have 5 or more teams). This week we breakdown the race to host plus the teams sitting on the bubble. We will do this for every class. At the end I pick the 8 teams I think make it to state based on my projections At the end I pick the 8 teams I think make it to state based on my projections.

The Saturday Morning update of the Seeding Index has Otis jumping into the #32 spot. Otis is now sitting at .444 with #33 Deer Trail and #34 Elbert sitting at .435 & .434. Otis is the only team with a game remaining so a win keeps them in but a loss will making things interesting.
Bracket- League matchups will be avoided in the first round only. 8 Regional winners qualifying for state. State will not be re-seeded! And play a consolation bracket!

Class 1A Boys
First Four Out
Arickaree (33), Fleming (34), Hanover (35), Cotopaxi (36)
Arickaree loss to Fleming has changed the bubble. Arickaree dropped out of the top 32 and now sit at #33. Centennial continues to hold onto the #32 spot and sit at .457. Centennial has a game against 2A Trinidad. A loss definitely leaves the door open for the bubble teams. Arickaree plays Bethune and Fleming plays Idalia. I do think if Fleming can pull the upset they could jump into the top 32.
Bracket- League matchups will be avoided in the first round only. 8 Regional winners qualifying for state. State will not be re-seeded! And play a consolation bracket!
