The Colorado High School Activities Association on Wednesday released brackets for this weekend\u2019s Class 2A-5A regional baseball tournaments.<\/p>\n

Ten local teams made the cut in three different classifications.<\/p>\n

One out of four teams from each classification\u2019s eight regional tournaments statewide will advance to state tournaments, which kick off next week.<\/p>\n

League champions automatically qualified for the 32-team postseason and the remaining spots were filled using rankings from CHSAA\u2019s Seeding and Selection Index.<\/p>\n

The top 8 teams in each class, determined by the index, will host their regional tournament.<\/p>\n

Roosevelt (21-2) is the ninth seed in 4A. It will face No. 24 Dakota Ridge (14-9) at 10 a.m. Saturday in the Region 8 tournament at Canon City High School. The winner will match up with No. 8 Canon City (20-3) or No. 25 Silver Creek (11-11) in the regional final around 3 p.m.<\/p>\n

Severance (18-5), the 18th seed in 4A, will face No. 15 Ponderosa (14-9) at 10 a.m. Saturday in the Region 2 tournament in Golden. The winner takes on either No. 2 Golden (21-2) or No. 31 Centaurus (9-14) in the regional final around 3 p.m.<\/p>\n

One team conspicuous by its absence in the 32-team 4A postseason is Windsor.<\/p>\n

Up until a few days ago, the Wizards were in position to possibly host their regional.<\/p>\n

However, according to the Coloradoan, Windsor had to forfeit eight wins earlier this week because it had used an ineligible player. The player was officially ruled ineligible Monday.<\/p>\n

By forfeiting the wins in which they used the ineligible player, the Wizards\u2019 record dropped from 17-6 to 9-14, effectively knocking them out of the postseason bracket. Before the forfeits, Windsor was ranked ninth in the Seeding and Selection Index.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there was no shortage of local teams in 3A that firmly qualified for the 32-team postseason.<\/p>\n

University (21-2) is the top seed in 3A, and it will play host to No. 32 Lincoln (16-6) in the Region 1 tournament at 10 a.m. Saturday at Tom Roche Field.<\/p>\n

The winner moves on to the regional final around 3 p.m. and will face whichever team emerges from a 12:30 p.m. game between No. 16 Resurrection Christian (11-12) and No. 17 Timnath (14-9).<\/p>\n
