10. Seward (12-8), RV

Receiving Votes: none.

Comments: We appear to be on a Skutt, Elkhorn North collision course in Class B. Not sure there is much else to say, any other final would be an upset of epic proportion — think USA hockey in the 1980 Olympics. Seward re-enters, with York and Sidney flipping spots. Games of note: Norris at Omaha Skutt Catholic (Tuesday), Elkhorn North at Norris (Friday), Seward at York (Friday).

10. Bruning-Davenport/Shickley (16-5), 10

Receiving Votes: Sumner-Eddyville-Miller (16-2), RV; Johnson-Brock (16-5), RV.

Comments: Ravenna stays No. 1 with a win over Centura in the LouPlatte final and the two could be again in a sub-district final next week. And, maybe again in Lincoln? Hastings St. Cecilia jumps Cedar Catholic who has lost 4 of 5, but all to Class C-2 and C-1 teams (three ranked).
