<p><strong>Other notes:</strong> Division-III Select is the only bracket without a double-digit seed in this year's quarterfinals. The lowest seed, No. 9 Lafayette Christian, upset No. 8 Notre Dame in a rematch of their district showdown. The Knights are in their eighth straight quarterfinal and seeking their eighth straight title-game appearance.</p>

<p><strong>Most intriguing possible semifinal matchup:</strong> No. 2 Isidore Newman vs. No. 3 Calvary Baptist would mark a semifinal rematch from last season.</p>
