LAKEWOOD -- The state 5A baseball tournament didn't start out well for Legacy High School.

Cherokee Trail High School knocked off the second-seeded Lightning 6-2 May 27 at All Star Park. Kieran Gaffney had two hits and one of his team's RBIs. Brandon Sanchez had a base hit and the other RBI. Marcus Romero cranked out a pair of hits.

No stats were available for the Cougars.

The loss, one of two upsests in early round play (top-seeded Regis Jesuit High School also lost) puots Legacy into a 9 a.m. game Saturday, May 27, against Vista Ridge High School. Chaparral beat the Wolves 11-6 in a lightning-delayed game.

We'll update later.
