<p><strong>Potential First-Round Matchups (If Standings Hold)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If nothing changes, the projected first-round matchups would be:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Clark vs. Sunrise Mountain</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Losee vs. Green Valley</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Foothill vs. Somerset Sky Pointe </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mater East Academy vs. Durango</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Legacy vs. SECTA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Palo Verde vs. Rancho</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Las Vegas vs. Faith Lutheran</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Basic vs. Shadow Ridge</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>4A Mountain League - Seeds on the Line Tonight</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Somerset faces Losee in a game with major implications. If Somerset wins, they could move from fourth place all the way up to second in the Mountain League standings. However, the Shadow Ridge vs. Western game also plays a key role in how this shakes out.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If Shadow Ridge wins and Losee loses, Shadow Ridge would secure the two-seed. Western's playoff hopes are on the line as well. A win over Shadow Ridge keeps them alive, but they would also need Sky Pointe to lose in order to move into the bracket.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>4A Desert League - Almost Locked In</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Desert League's top four teams are set. Clark will finish first. Durango will move into second with a win over Amplus Academy tonight, followed by Palo Verde and Faith Lutheran. If Durango loses, they will remain in third place.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>4A Lake League - Major Movement Possible</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Mater East vs. Sunrise Mountain game has significant seeding implications. If Sunrise Mountain wins, they can move up in the standings while Mater East could slide down from second place. If Mater East wins, they will remain in the two-spot.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rancho faces Valley in another game with major consequences. If Rancho wins, Valley is eliminated from playoff contention. Rancho could also move up to second place if Mater East loses.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There is also a scenario where Mater East could fall from second all the way to fourth by the end of the night. If Valley wins, they would bump Sunrise Mountain out of the playoffs if Sunrise Mountain also loses. However, if Sunrise Mountain wins, then Rancho would be the team eliminated instead.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>4A Sky League - Big Matchup Tomorrow Night </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Foothill has secured the top spot in the Sky League. Basic and Green Valley will play tomorrow night to determine the two and three seeds. SECTA currently holds the fourth seed, but if SLAM defeats SECTA, SLAM would take the final playoff spot.</p>
