It’s been all Canadian in Region I for the past several years as the Wildcats have earned the regional title in seven of the last eight seasons (they also won the 2A-Region I crown in 2014 and 2015 as well), which means in the last ten years, CHS has made the state semifinals nine times. Can anyone outside of Gunter slow the Wildcats attack? One interesting note about this region is there are only 19 total teams competing for the regional title.
Childress has proven over the years to be Canadian’s biggest hurdle and the Bobcats have come close but they just have not been able to get over the hump and it is likely to be more of the same in 2024. The race for the three seed should be intriguing, but I like Friona to hold off Dimmitt. Tulia went through a late coaching change and it may be a year before the Hornets are post-season ready.
