Cheyenne Mountain had a rare hiccup. OK, two.

Even TCA had an uncharacteristic defensive lapse.

Both ultimately recovered, winning their respective league titles and earning the top two seeds in the 4A boys’ soccer playoff field, released Sunday.

But despite the rankings, there are no undefeated 4A teams following regular-season play. Last year, Air Academy and TCA ran the table until the Kadets beat the Titans in the championship game.

“Everyone has lost, and there doesn’t seem to be a single dominant team at all,” TCA coach Blake Galvin said. “In a lot of ways, that makes it scary. Everybody has beaten everybody. I think it might be more even across the board than in past years. I think it’s going to be tougher than last year’s bracket.”

Twelve schools representing the Pikes Peak region earned postseason berths when the 5A, 4A and 3A brackets were unveiled.

In 5A, Metro League champion Pine Creek and runner-up Rampart both earned first-round home games Thursday. The No. 11 Eagles (8-4-3) swept through league play and enter the postseason on a five-game winning streak. Rampart, seeded 13th, went 13-1-1 during the regular season, dropping only an overtime game to Pine Creek.

In addition to Cheyenne Mountain (12-2) and TCA (14-1), 4A defending state champion Air Academy is seeded No. 10 and will host a first-round game Wednesday. Lewis-Palmer, which is ranked 14th, also will start the playoffs on its home field. Palmer Ridge earned a No. 20 seed and will hit the road. Also hitting the road in 4A are No. 26 Harrison and No. 30 Mitchell.

By earning a top-eight seed in the 3A field, No. 6 Fountain Valley gets to play host to its four-team regional Friday and Saturday. The Danes (11-2-2) lost only to Colorado Academy, which won the 3A state title in 2012-13, and 4A Pueblo Centennial. They also forged a tie with Kent Denver, the top seed in 3A.

The Vanguard School (No. 13) and CSCS (14) also qualified from 3A and will start the playoffs on the road Friday.

Playing at home has its benefits, but it’s no guarantee for success, either.

“Anything can happen, and we’ve learned that the hard way,” said Cheyenne Mountain coach Tomas Martinez, whose then-No. 3-ranked Indians suffered a second-round loss at home last year following a 4A state-championship run in 2013. “That wound is still pretty fresh, and our guys are very focused. I feel very good about our chances.”
