In the Beloit area, eighth-seeded Beloit Turner travels to face 8-1 Racine St. Catherine’s in Division 4, while other regional teams begin postseason play across multiple divisions. In western Wisconsin, Mondovi is viewed as a potential Division 6 contender despite injuries, while Division 5 No. 2 seed Durand-Arkansaw and host Elk Mound are among the area teams drawing attention.
