Just outside

What to watch Friday

York hosts Norris. Crete visits Blair. McCook visits Aurora. Lincoln Pius X visits Gretna. Gering hosts Hastings.

District top-3 (B1–B3) + Emerging champ + 6 WC (B4 ineligible for WC). Points-order top 16 is a PROXY. The points-order Nos. 12–18 are a wild-card watch list after eligibility filtering — not a promise that the No. 16 team on raw points is the No. 16 seed on Selection Day.

How the math works

Win values 50/47/44/41 and loss values 36/33/30/27 by division, averaged across counted games. Playing up adds 2/3/4. District champs are safe where the format uses them; wild cards fill the rest by points among eligible schools only.
