Regional tournament assignments were announced for baseball, softball and girls soccer on Saturday by KSHSAA. Here’s where each local team will be next week:

Baseball

The Sunflower League champion Free State Firebirds enter the postseason as the No. 1 seed in the 6A West and will host a regional on Thursday. The Firebirds drew No. 16 Derby (7-19) in the first game and will face either No. 8 Topeka (12-11) or No. 9 Wichita Heights (12-12) if the Firebirds win in the first round. Of the three teams in the regional, Free State has only faced Wichita Heights. The Firebirds won the game 19-10 on the road on April 19.

The Lawrence Lions enter the regional as the No. 16 seed in the East and will play at No. 1 Olathe West on Wednesday. A win would put the Lions against the winner of No. 8 Olathe South (16-9) or No. 9 Blue Valley North (16-10). The Lions played the other three teams in the regional and lost those three games.

As the No. 8 seed in the 4A East, Tonganoxie (14-11) will play in the No. 1 Topeka-Hayden (22-0) regional on Wednesday. The Chieftains start with No. 9 El Dorado (14-12), with a potential game against Topeka Hayden or No. 16 Augusta (8-15) later in the day. Tonganoxie lost earlier in the year to Topeka-Hayden 10-8 but beat Augusta 8-2.

Baldwin (11-12) is the No. 11 seed in the 4A East, meaning they’ll play in the No. 3 Paola (23-3) regional. The Bulldogs start with No. 6 Independence (11-5) and would play the winner of Paola or No. 14 Chanute (9-16) with a first-round win. Baldwin lost 5-1 to Paola but hasn’t faced the other two schools.

No. 13 Eudora (8-14) will start in the No. 4 Rock Creek regional (19-6) and will play the hosts in the first round. A win there would put the Cardinals up against No. 5 Louisburg (17-6) or No. 12 Ottawa (10-15). The Cardinals have lost to Ottawa twice — 8-4 and 5-4 — and split against Louisburg — winning 5-4 and losing 9-0.

Perry-Lecompton holds the No. 3 seed in the 3A Bishop Ward regional after going 14-10 in the regular season. The Kaws beat No. 6 Bishop Ward in the first round 11-2 and will face No. 7 Osawatomie (8-11) on Wednesday. A win would put them in the regional championship against either No. 4 Heritage Christian Academy (11-10) or No. 1 Jefferson West (23-2).

Softball

Lawrence went 18-8 in the regular season and earned the No. 6 seed in the 6A East regional. They’ll start with No. 11 Shawnee Mission North (9-14) at the Olathe District Activity Center on Thursday. A win would put the Lions in the regional championship against either No. 3 Olathe North (22-4) or No. 14 Wyandotte (5-9). The Lions beat Shawnee Mission North 11-1 on Wednesday and lost to Olathe North 3-1 on May 6.

No. 10 Free State (10-15) will start in the second 6A West regional and will face No. 7 Wichita-Northwest (13-11) on Tuesday. A win would put the Firebirds against either No. 2 Derby (19-7) or No. 15 Dodge City (3-23). The Firebirds haven’t played any of the teams in the regional.

Eudora earned the No. 1 seed in the 4A East with a 23-1 record. The Cardinals will host and will start with No. 16 Parsons (4-15) on Tuesday. A win that day would put the Cardinals in the regional championship against either No. 8 Holton (13-9) or No. 9 Chanute (13-10). Eudora has not played any of those teams this year.

No. 5 Tonganoxie finished 17-8 and came close to hosting a regional but will be at Rock Creek on Wednesday. The Chieftains start with No. 12 Ottawa (12-12) before a chance to win the region against either No. 4 Rock Creek (17-8) or No. 13 El Dorado (8-14) with a first-round win. The Chieftains faced Ottawa twice in the regular season and won both by a score of 10-0.

Baldwin finished with the No. 10 seed at 12-11 in the regular season. They’ll travel to Wamego for their regional tournament, starting with No. 7 Atchison (14-8) on Tuesday. A win in that game would put the Bulldogs in the regional championship against either No. 2 Wamego (19-4) or No. 15 Independence (6-14).

Perry-Lecompton holds the No. 6 seed in the 3A Wellsville regional with an 8-18 record. The Kaws start with No. 3 Pomona-West Franklin (13-9) on Monday. They’d have to win again on Tuesday in order to play in the regional championship later that day.

Girls soccer

Free State starts with the No. 10 seed with a 7-8-1 record. The Firebirds start at No. 7 Wichita North (8-7-1) on Tuesday.
