<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Top Seeds Secured</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Reno has officially locked down the No. 1, finishing a perfect 9–0 in conference play. The Huskies will close out the regular season tonight against McQueen, but their postseason positioning is already secure.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bishop Manogue has also claimed the No. 1 seed, going 8–0 in league play. With their regular season complete, the Miners will enter the postseason rested and firmly atop the standings.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Battle for the No. 2 Seed</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Several teams remain in contention for the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, making tonight's matchups critical.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Damonte Ranch currently holds the No. 2 seed and will keep that position with a win over Galena tonight. A loss, however, opens the door for movement in the standings.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Meanwhile, Reed and Spanish Springs will go head-to-head matchup with major implications. The winner earns the No. 2 seed, while the loser drops to No. 3. Making this one of the most consequential games of the night.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Douglas Watching Closely</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Douglas enters the night sitting in the No. 3 seed, but their fate is tied to multiple outcomes. If Damonte Ranch defeats Galena, Douglas will remain in the three spot regardless of what happens.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>However, if Douglas defeats Carson and Damonte Ranch loses, Douglas could climb as high as the No. 2 seed, adding another layer of intrigue to the final night.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>McQueen Upset Potential</em></strong> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If McQueen were to upset Reno tonight, they could grab the last spot in the playoffs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><br>All signs point to an exciting finish as the playoff bracket comes into its final form.<br></p>
