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.

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!
