It is tournament time in Colorado and all classifications will be underway this weekend with District and State Tournament play.  Beginning our look at Post Season play is the 1A classification.  8 Teams will square off this weekend at All-City field and All-Star Park.  It looks to be a three-team race for the championship, which will be decided on May 14th.

Community Christian Crusaders
Come into the tournament with 18 wins on the season and has been Prep Baseball Report Colorado’s #1 team all season in 1A.  As a team they are hitting .343 with 186 hits and 72 stolen bases.  On the mound, their staff has combined for a 1.52 ERA with 243 strikeouts.  The Crusaders will lean heavily on Joel Hodge this weekend; the senior has amassed a .737 average with 42 hits and 22 RBI on the year. 

Holly Wildcats

Enter this weekend with a 10-4 record and have moved up and down the Prep Baseball Report Colorado team rankings all year.  As a team, they are hoping their offense will carry them through to the championship.  The Wildcats hit .395 as a team with 166 hits and 67 stolen bases.  Senior Mason Pierce will shoulder the responsibility for sparking the offense; over the course of the regular season he hit .556 with 25 hits and 13 RBI. 

Flemming Wildcats
Are riding a 2 game winning streak coming into the tournament and sport a 8-4-1 record overall.  As a team, they will rely on speed to go deep into the weekend and beyond.  They have swiped 92 bases this year to go along with a .349 average.  Sophomore Jaxon King who has a .538 average with 21 hits and 25 RBI will need to have a big weekend for the Wildcats to advance.
