I typically just follow C1-D3. Here are mine.

C1: #10 Minden over #7 Lincoln Christian
C2: #9 Neumann over #8 Malcolm (this bracket is absolutely stacked)
D1: feels chalky, I’ll say #9 Elmwood-Murdock over #8 EMF
D2: I have two #9 Aquinas over #8 Hemingford and #13 Neligh over #4 Loomis
D3: #11 Brady over #6 Dundy

List yours!

In fairness, I believe Dundy played Brady the first go around without their QB. I expect it will be closer this go around.
Good callout. Post season is a different ballgame for a lot of teams. Alot is going to come down to who stays healthy down the stretch. Cant wait to see how D1 unfolds.

I have O’Neill over Syracuse and Fillmore Central over Ord. Ord has been banged up the past two weeks.

In D3, I have 12 seed Anselmo-Merna in the semis. Have heard they made a crucial change on the offensive side of the ball that has really helped. Add in their size and they are incredibly dangerous I believe.

I was in Ord Friday to watch Cedar and it was beyond bizarre. Zero energy from the Chants and obviously had some injury issues. Wasn't even close to the type of game I thought I'd see.

I cant see loomis getting knocked out in the first round after how last year ended for them. N-O can score some points but unless they are turning you over that defense isnt stopping any of these higher seeded teams in D2

Agree, one guy can only do so much. He may be a stud but even in 8-man you need a couple more guys, even though they run a pretty solid offense

These ended up being the only first round upsets (based on seed)

C1 - (9) Adams Central 14, (8) Wahoo 7
C1 - (13) Cozad 33, (4) Pierce 19

D2 - (11) Wilcox-Hildreth 46, (6) Creighton 28

D3 - (9) Wynot 24, (8) Burwell 12
D3 - (12) Anselmo-Merna 36, (5) Wausa 30
D3 - (13) West Point Guardian Angels CC 50, (4) Pleasanton 8

D6 - (9) Leyton 70, (8) Riverside 59
D6- (10) Southwest 50, (7) Arthur County 32

No upsets in A, B, C2 or D1 -- but the last 4 minutes of Class A (10) Millard West at (7) Papio South was wild.
