A 'what if'?   Mead High School was a wild-card qualifier for State. They had the second (and last) wild card spot. If Omaha Nation loses to Emerson-Hubbard in the District finals, Emerson-Hubbard would have been the automatic qualifier, and Omaha Nation would have gotten the last wild-card spot.  Therefore, if Omaha Nation would have lost in the District finals, the eventual State Champion (Mead)would not have qualified for State!
