The bracket as the NJSIAA posted it; a change from the NJSIAA (a school that withdraws, a committee move) reaches this page the same way. A game's day and time come from the host school and show once we have them; until then the round's dates.
Finals arrive as they do all season: from X, from Will's emails, from the enter page and from coaches. The moment a game is final, the winner moves forward and the loser goes to Out.
