Seven of the programs in the Class 2A volleyball tournament field have won state titles including defending champion Dayspring Christian. The Eagles are seeded third in the bracket while 2015 champion Yuma is the top ranked team overall. Also in a very talented field are three clubs from the Santa Fe and two from the Western Slope. Two league rivals of Dayspring Christian from the Mile High will also challenge for the crown.
The bracket opens with eight pool matches on Friday and concludes with four more first round battles and the semifinals leading up to the state championship match at 7:00pm Saturday night. All matches can be seen live at www.NFHSNetwork.com.
