LINCOLN - The Wynot Blue Devils are back in a familiar place - and facing a familiar foe.

The 3-seed in Class D2 outlasted Elgin Public/Pope John 60-53 in the quarterfinals on Thursday.

The Blue Devils never trailed, but never really shook the Wolfpack off until opening up a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter.

EPPJ was never able to find their rhythm from deep, shooting just 4-of-20 from beyond the arc, just 2-for-11 in the second half.

Wynot's win sends them to the semi-finals for the third straight year, and sets up a rematch with 2-seed Wausa, who they've already beaten twice this year.
