The Spartans finished as the fifth-place team in the 3A/2A Confluence League, which included Lotus School For Excellence, who made the postseason in 2A.
Aurora West College Prep opens the postseason on the road against No. 5 Forge Christian (9-3-2) in Arvada in a game scheduled to be played on Oct. 25. The teams will meet for the first time this season.
