Roncalli (16-4, 13-3 Olympian Conference) was awarded the No. 2 seed in Division 3, meaning it will face the winner of the No. 10 Southern Door (12-8, 10-3 Packerland Conference) at No. 7 Luxemburg-Casco (9-11, 7-8 Bay Conference) matchup on Feb. 22. The Jets did not face either team during the season.
