In the 5A, 4A and 3A tournaments, the first game at each site will be played at 10 a.m., with the second played directly after. The winners of the first-round games will play at 3:00 p.m. at their original site.
There are no seeds in the 3A-5A tournaments, and first-round matchups are predetermined based upon the region each team won last weekend.
After breezing through the regional round with two run-rule wins, Legend will play Broomfield in 5A’s first round at Metro State.
It’s Mountain Vista vs. Dakota Ridge in the second game of the day at Metro State. Dakota Ridge upset Mountain Range and Highlands Ranch in the regional rounds, and will be looking to shake things up further in the state tournament.
Cherry Creek and Legacy will face off at All-City Stadium.
Rocky Mountain and Rock Canyon play in the second game.
In 4A, Thompson Valley plays Golden in game one at All-Star Park. Evergreen and Air Academy follow in game two.
Both Golden and Evergreen were No. 4 seeds in the regional brackets. Thompson Valley upset undefeated Denver North to win Region 1.

Colorado Academy run-ruled its way into the state tournament. The Mustangs will play Lamar in the first game of the day at Butch Butler.
La Junta and Peak to Peak will play after Colorado Academy and Lamar.
Paonia grabbed the No. 1 seed in 2A. The Eagles will play Sargent in the first round.
The winner of the above game will play the winner of N0. 8 Hotchkiss and No. 9 Dayspring Christian Academy.
Peyton is the second seed and gets No. 15 Limon. Should Peyton win, they’ll get the winner of No. 7 Haxtun vs. No. 10 Lyons.
