Five Area Girls Basketball Teams Make State Tournament
Five out of six girls basketball squads in the area won their district finals last Friday.
Once the Class B finals were played Saturday, the girls state tournament bracket was released. In Class C1, No. 8 seed North Bend Central is an underdog to win a fifth consecutive state title. The Tigers open against top-seeded Lincoln Christian on Thursday.
The other four teams are all in quarterfinals on Wednesday. In C2, Cross County is seeded No. 4 and battles Bishop Neumann while seventh-seeded Clarkson/Leigh meets Crofton. In D2, Howells-Dodge is No. 4 and Humphrey St. Francis is No. 7. The Jaguars face Sandhills/Thedford while the Flyers take on Falls City Sacred Heart.
