Dropped Out: Sidney.
Notes: Gretna finishes the Class B rankings at the same spot it as held all year long. Omaha Duchesne’s win over Elkhorn in the first round of the state tournament causes a little bit of a shuffle in the top half of the rankings while Platteview’s win over Norris in the Round of 16 does the same for the bottom half of the rankings. A case could be made for Bennington to be in the final rankings instead of Waverly based on the results of its district tournament, but Waverly proved it belongs in the top 10 with its near upset of Gretna in the Round of 16 and on the merit of its overall season.
