champions advancing to the four‐team regionals on Saturday, June 1. Two semifinal games will be played early that day at each site with the two winners returning for a championship game that evening. The 16 regional winners will be assigned to four semi‐state sites and play a single game on Saturday, June 8, with the winners moving into their respective state championship game.
