Week two of the spring football playoffs are set for this weekend with games on tap both Friday and Saturday. Winners this week head to CSU Pueblo next week for the state championship games May 13-15th. Higher seeds host each matchup.
Four leagues are represented at the 5A state volleyball tournament with Jeffco leading the way with three qualifiers. Ralston Valley, Columbine and Chatfield are also seeded among the top six clubs. The Continental has two qualifiers in #1 Mountain Vista and #7 Legend while Centennial members Cherry Creek and Grandview are placed fifth and eighth. Rampart is the lone 5A entry from the Pikes Peak league and checks in at number two in the bracket.
A new state champion in Class 4A is guaranteed as four-time defending state champion Lewis Palmer is not in the tournament field this year. The Rangers and Cheyenne Mountain have combined to win the last 12 titles in this division so it's up to the Indians to keep that streak alive this year. They're seeded second and sit behind unbeaten Windsor at the top of the bracket. Coronado is a second unbeaten club (12-0) with the Cougars one of five Colorado Springs area teams in the field. Palisade and Mead also look to break through.
Three unbeaten teams are in the Class 3A state volleyball tournament and that list does not include defending state champion Sterling. The Tigers are 14-2 on the season and seeded third behind unbeatens Eaton and Montezuma Cortez. Lamar, which has not dropped a set the entire season, is also perfect on the season and seeded fourth. That group is joined by University, Lutheran, Prospect Ridge & Resurrection Christian to create a very deep field.
The Class 2A state volleyball tournament will play out on May 12-13th at World Arena in Colorado Springs. Defending state champion Denver Christian is joined by seven other clubs in the single elimination bracket.
Class 1A state volleyball tournament action gets underway on Wednesday May 12th at World Arena in Colorado Springs. Eight games are entered in the single elimination tournament and all seek three victories to win a state championship.
