AURORA | Centennial League softball teams aren’t finished seeing each other yet this season with the Centennial League Challenge ahead.
The teams just completed a 13-game league season where they saw each other multiple times and now they will conclude the regular season with a three-game tournament that begins Tuesday.
Centennial League champion Smoky Hill — which went 13-0 in league play to earn an automatic berth in the Class 5A state tournament — received the top seed and will face eighth-seeded Overland, which went independent during the season and reenters the league just for the final three games.
Cherokee Trail is the second seed and plays host to seventh-seeded Eaglecrest, which just played a doubleheader against the Cougars on Saturday.
Sixth-seeded Grandview opens at third-seeded Arapahoe, while fifth-seeded Mullen is at No. 4 Cherry Creek.
The tournament continues Thursday and concludes Saturday.
