Teams in classes 2A through 4A will start its playoffs this week with either bi-district or district playoffs, while classes A and B will have regional play this week. The teams in classes 5A-6A will begin its postseason next week. 

In both Class A and B, there will be eight four-team regionals, with play beginning on Thursday and concluding on Saturday. The winners of each regional will move on to next week's Class A and B state tournaments, to be held May 5-7.

There will be a total of potentially seven games for each regional. First round games start at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, with the winners meeting later that day at 4 p.m., and the losers of the two first-round games playing an elimination game at 6:30 p.m.
