The field for next week's state tournament in Ely won't be set until Sunday, but several districts are far along in their respective playoffs.
Several teams have put themselves in the enviable spot of reaching their district title game in the undefeated position.
Luverne is in the undefeated slot in District 2 and awaits one of three teams in the finals.
Meanwhile, Class A high school champion Eden Valley-Watkins beat Madison 7-3 Thursday night in the District 7 tournament at Montevideo behind the pitching of senior sensation Matt Geislinger. EVW will play for the title this weekend against either Madison or Granite Falls, and must be defeated twice.
In other districts:
* District 9 - Warroad and Hawley are in the undefeated position and play Friday for a spot in the championship game:
• District 6 - Holdingford has won two straight and will meet either Pierz or Staples-Motley;
• District 1 - Defending state champion LaCrescent meets Wabasha-Kellogg Saturday, with the winner moving on to Sunday's final;
• District 3 - LeSueur beat perennial power Jordan last weekend and squares off with Kenyon in the last winners' bracket game;
• District 8 - Ely is in as the host team, and it takes on Marble Friday at Deer River for a spot in the finals. Deer River and Cook County also remain in the tournament.
