| No. 1 Waverly (21-2) v. No. 16 Beatrice (9-11). | Maybe this isn't the mountain to climb you might first expect - back in early January Beatrice played the Vikings within 48-41. Crazier things have happened...but probably won't. | |
| No. 2 Sidney (21-3) v. No. 15 Platteview (15-10). | Sidney was cruising, 16 wins in a row, before losing to Scottsbluff in the subdistrict final. Platteview has been toughened by a five losses to teams with at least 21 wins. This won't be easy. | |
| No. 3 Seward (19-4) v. No. 14 Norris (11-11). | Seward has won seven in a row and beat Norris by 21 points when they met earlier this season. But see, Norris also beat Crete... | |
| No. 4 Omaha Skutt (17-6) v. No. 13 Omaha Gross (16-9). | Skutt has beaten Gross by 25 and 30 points in their two previous meetings. | |
| No. 5 Crete (18-5) v. No. 12 North Platte (12-9). | Every thing was going great for Crete - 11 straight wins - before the upset loss to Norris. North Platte is unbeaten against Class B competition this season but none of those rise to the level of what Crete will bring to the table. | |
| No. 6 Elkhorn (18-5) v. No. 11 Bennington (14-9). | Defending state champion Elkhorn awakened here while ago, winning nine of its last 10. Weirdly enough this is the third game in a row Elkhorn and Bennington will play one another, counting regular season, subdistrict and now district final play. | |
B-7 at Grand Island Northwest | No. 7 Northwest (17-5) v. No. 10 Scottsbluff (12-10). | GINW has won six straight and all five of its losses are to fellow district finalists. Scottsbluff had lost three of four before its current three-game winning streak that includes the upset of Sidney. | |
| No. 8 South Sioux City (16-5) v. No. 9 Elkhorn South (11-13). | SSC has won 12 of 13 and all but Elkhorn South has played an almost exclusive Class A schedule, its only two losses coming to Elkhorn including a 49-45 double overrtime defeat in the subdistrict final. This should be a classic. | |
