Class 3A Girls

First Four Out

Platte Canyon (33), Grand Valley (34), Florence (35), Olathe (36)

Looks like 4 teams are battling for 3 spots. #30 Liberty Common sits at .476, #31 Rye sits at .474, #32 Windsor Charter sits at .470, and #33 Platte Canyon sits at .468. Things are very close between these teams. Rye is the only team that has a game remaining against 4A La Junta. A loss could be enough for Platte Canyon to jump into the final spot but a win will get Rye into the playoffs.

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 Modified consolation bracket!
