3A State Tournament Final 8 Preview:

The Eaton Reds would be most people’s pick to win the 3A state tournament, but in a final 8 that features half the field as a double digit seed in the districts, it still could be anyone’s game.  Butch Butler Field in Greeley will play host to the top half of the bracket which features, No. 1 Eaton, No, 4 Brush, No. 8 Gunnison and No. 12 Peak to Peak.

Game 1:  Eaton (21-0) vs. Gunnison (17-3)

Fredrick High School is where we will find the second half of this bracket, the half that features only one host site to make it through to the final 8.  No. 3 Bayfield will be joined by, No. 10 Valley, No. 11 University and No. 15 Sterling.
