Several games qualify to be the headliner for the Thursday Top 10 Schedule but one sticks out a bit more than another and it’s 4A between #2 Pueblo South and #3 Pueblo West.  Both legitimate state championship contenders, they battle in the first of two meetings to likely decide the South Central crown.
RPI standings and a very high post-season placement will also play a role in the outcome.  West opens the game second in Class 4A RPI with South #3.  Both trail top ranked Air Academy in that race as well.
Headliner #2 is found in Class 3A between #4 Delta and #8 Grand Valley.  Delta is unbeaten in league play and tied with Moffat County for the Western Slope lead while the Cardinals are one game back following a loss to Moffat County last week.  RPI numbers will again be affected as Delta is #3 and Grand Valley #9 entering the contest.
In Class 1A, the focus is regional tournament pairings as games between South Baca-McClave and Wiley-Eads could impact those brackets.  All four teams have a legitimate shot of reaching the regional round next and will be pairing together in the Southeast.
The entire schedule for top 10 teams is below.  If you have additions due to a prior cancellation, please let us know so we can add to the slate.  Final scores can also be sent to Colorado Preps by text at 970.380.7737.
