Other teams will have a different path, some may call it an underdog route, as they look to shock the state with deep postseason runs. For some teams, the postseason journey may be a short one with tough opening-round matchups on the docket that may be too much to handle.

Contenders Eunice (10-0): The Bobcats earned the No. 3 seed and a bye in the Non-Select Division II bracket after completing a perfect regular season for the fifth time in school history.
