The Class A district pairings will be released on Tuesday (allowing today for a final scrub of out of state games), but it does not appear we will have much change in the current points so we can predict seedings and pairings for games that will lead us to the Class A state tournament which begins on March 8 at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln.
Seven district winners and one wild card will qualify for the state tournament. Opening round games will be Friday, with semifinals on Saturday. Finals will be played on Monday or Tuesday at the highest remaining seed. Here is a look at each district.
