The Nebraska boys take their turn at center court this weekend and will crown six state champions over the course of the next four days. While many of the same programs are back in the hunt, there are plenty of schools making it on the brackets after missing the chaos for a year or two, or more.
While there is just one rematch scheduled for Thursday's Class B quarterfinal action, there is plenty of basketball excitement on the docket. MaxPreps Top-ranked Norris and No. 9 Lincoln Pius X will kick off Class B state tournament action Thursday at 1:30 PM at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
