B-1 District at Omaha Skutt Catholic 
Skutt Catholic
Platte Valley
Wahoo
South Sioux City
Thurston-Cuming County

PBR Prediction: Skutt Catholic. The Skyhawks should take care of business and roll through their district on their home field. They are coming off a big win on senior night over Papillion South. They have a solid lineup, led by Jarret Damewood, Mojo Hagge, and Ryan Moritz and they have a solid 1-2 punch on the mound with Brandon Anderson and Connor Schwetschenau. 

Dark Horse: Wahoo

B-2 District at Elkhorn Legion Field 
Elkhorn 
Omaha Gross Catholic
Waverly
Fort Calhoun
Auburn

PBR Prediction: Elkhorn. With one of the states top players in Creighton commit Drew Smith, the Antler's are in a strong position to bounce back from a recent loss to Creighton Prep. Jacob Uhing has set the school's record with seven wins and they have seen solid contributions from Joe Roecker, Ben Morock, Drew Jinda, and Nebraska-Kearney commit Tanner Hunt.

B-3 District at Arlington Field
Arlington
Elkhorn South
Omaha Roncalli
Crete
Plattsmouth 

PBR Prediction: Elkhorn South. The #2 seed Storm have faced a much tougher schedule than #1 seeded Eagles. At the plate they are led by Nebraska-Omaha commit Cole Thibodeau, Zach Jennings and Carson Pilkington. On the mound, they have a strong combo with junior Spencer Pyle and sophmore Jake Bunz. Elkhorn South also has one of top 2019 prospects in James Valdiva. 

Dark Horse: Omaha Roncalli

B-4 at Hickman City Park
Norris
Concordia
Platteview
Mount Michael
DC West 

PBR Prediction: Norris. The Titans have a very talented trio in the 2018 class with Zach Argo, Austin Shultz and Will Reetz. The trio has led Norris to a 20-6 record despite losing Nebraska commit Jamie Young to an injury this season. 

Dark Horse: Concordia

Five Prospects to Watch:
Zach Argo

Kamen Mahoney 
Ryan Riddle 


B-5 District at Steinhart Park Baseball Field
Nebraska City
Seward

Gretna
Falls City

PBR Prediction: Seward. With a lineup led by senior Brady Fitzke, freshman Brett Meyer, and Scott Wolverton; the Bluejays have 52 stolen bases as a team. If Bluejays arms can hold up against #1 seeded Pioneers they will be on their way to Werner Park.

Dark Horse: Gretna

B-6 District at Orval Smith Field
Ralston
Blair
Beatrice
GACC-SS-WPB

Dark Horse: Blair

Five Prospects to Watch: 
Jackson Petersen
Nate Sailors
Thomas Webster
Damon Jorgensen
Mills Macek
