TREASURE VALLEY — Five of the 14 eastern Idaho soccer teams that made the trip to the greater Boise area with dreams of state championships kept their dreams intact through one round of play.

Two district 5-6 teams entered the tournament as their brackets’ No. 1 seeds — Sugar-Salem and Hillcrest, in the girls’ 4A and 5A classes, respectively — and both advanced. Thunder Ridge carried eastern Idaho’s top boys’ seed, No. 2 in 6A, and also advanced. And Pocatello was responsible for the biggest upset of the day on the girls’ side.
