The Mean Moose are expected to wrap up the tournament, but anything can happen in sports. Centauri, another SLV team, is the 10th seed in the Class 3A Region 10 Tournament. They'll also be hosting, taking on Brush and Coal Ridge. Centauri has a 15-8 record, and they'll be facing some tough competition. Their final match will be against Coal Ridge, who has a 17-6 record.
