Why it matters

The four advancing teams move one step closer to the state championship, and the semi-final pairings set up matchups between top seeds and lower seeds in the bracket. Results of these games will determine which two teams meet for the 6-man title.

Each advancing team won its quarterfinal by at least 25 points, with Roy/Mosquero's 66-0 shutout and Grady's 53-0 win standing out. Grady enters the semi-finals unbeaten at 10-0, while Logan, at 6-4, is the only advancing team with more losses than wins this season.
