Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Boulder Creek entered the Open State Playoffs as the No. 8 seed. However, they fell short to No. 25-seeded Desert Vista during the first round. This has been the biggest upset in the bracket by far.
Similarly, the Jaguars (17-10) were defeated by a lower seed during the first round of last year’s Open State Playoffs.
Led by junior Andrew Bhesania, Boulder Creek has proven that it can compete with high-level teams in the state.
