As it has been all year, the final week of the regular season in the Northern 3A East is going to be crazy — all except for one team. Churchill County has secured the No. 1 seed from the East for the regional tournament but the final three seeds are anybody’s to secure. Elko is currently second at 7-5, with Lowry, Spring Creek and Fernley tied at 5-7. Only the top four advance to the postseason. Lowry travels to Dayton, Spring Creek visits Churchill County and Elko travels to Fernley.
