The Chadron/Gering winner will head straight to the semifinal and will wait for the other side of the bracket to play out.

A win would send the Regulators into a game against the Hershland/Cambridge winner on Saturday while a loss has them against the Imperial/Mitchell winner.

The championship will be on Tuesday evening.
