There are no changes to our top 10 this week, and only a few minor adjustments in individual rankings as teams prepare for District Tournaments. The State Duals provided some exciting moments, particularly with David City getting Brittin Valentine back in their lineup, allowing them to defeat Syracuse and advance to the finals. Minden put up a strong fight against Battle Creek in the semifinals, but Battle Creek’s depth proved to be the difference-maker. In the end, Battle Creek took care of business and secured the State Dual Championship. Now, their focus shifts to the district tournament, where they’ll aim to qualify a strong contingent for Omaha and pursue their second state title of the season.
Looking ahead to the District tournaments, Battle Creek is projected to take first in C1, with Syracuse as the runner-up. In C2, Cedar Catholic is the favorite to win, followed by David City in second. In C3, Minden is expected to claim the top spot, while the battle for second will be a close call among Crofton-Bloomfield, Pierce, Elkhorn Valley, and Raymond Central. C4 is shaping up to be a three-team race between Wilber-Clatonia, St. Paul, and Doniphan-Trumbull for the top two spots. With the postseason quickly approaching, teams will be looking to secure their best lineups and punch their tickets to Omaha.
