RITZVILLE, Washington - If the playoffs were held today . . .

Here is one take on what the state bracket would end up looking like:

The eastside crossover bracket looks like this:

NE #5 vs. NE #1 - winner is #1 overall seed for Eastside (Quarters)

NE #3 vs. SE #2 - winner is #3 overall seed for Eastside (Quarters)

NE #4 vs. SE #1 - winner is #2 overall seed for Eastside (Quarters)

SE #3 vs. NE #2 - winner is #4 overall seed for Eastside (Quarters) (District 7/9 #3)

Putting the likely playoff teams (given current standings), the first-round games would be:

Inchelium @ Cusick (7/9 #1)
Almira-Coulee/Hartline @ Tri-Cities Prep (7/9 #4)
Columbia (Hunters) @ Lacrosse-Washtucna-Kahlotus. (7/9 #2)
Touchet @ Odessa (7/9 #3)

Going in to State, the District berths would look like this:

District 7/9 #1: Cusick
District 7/9 #4: Tri-Cities Prep
District 7/9 #2: LaCrosse-Washtucna-Kahlotus
District 7/9 #3: Odessa

The winners of these games are the semi-finalists:

Tri-Cities Prep
LaCrosse-Washtucna-Kahlotus

On the other side of the ledger, we have the Pacific Coast League and Districts 1/3 and 4.

Assuming that the Pac Coast League decides to conduct a typical 1-4 crossover and standings remain as they currently are, the brackets would look like this:

PacNorth #4 (Lopez) @ PacSouth #1 (Wishkah Valley) (Dist 4 #1)

PacSouth #3(Easton/Oakville/Taholah) @ PacNorth #2 (Neah Bay) (Dist 1/3 #2)

PacNorth#3 (Crescent)@ PacSouth #2 (Lake Quinault) (Dist 4 #2)

PacSouth #4 (Easton/Oakville/Taholah) @ PacNorth #1 (Lummi) Dist 1/3 #1)

Going into state, the District berths would look like this:

Dist 4 #1: Wishkah Valley
Dist 1/3 #2: Neah Bay
Dist 4 #2: Lake Quinault
Dist 1/3 #1: Lummi

The winners of these games are the semi-finalists:

Neah Bay
Lummi
