With the Nebraska girls subdistrict basketball tournaments for Classes C1, C2, D1 and D2 approaching next week, and district competition beginning for Classes A and B the week after, we have decided to take a look at which subdistricts/districts could be the Waterloo for some very good Nebraska girls basketball teams in 2015-16.

And we decided to share our findings with you, the fan.

While the collective winning percentage for each subdistrict/district, and the average MaxPreps ranking for the teams assigned to those subdistrict/district tournaments, were considered for this Top 10, they weren't the only info used for the order in which these uber-competitive tournaments were chosen.

Take for instance the B-1 district, which we selected No. 1 based on the strength of three of the top six schools in Class B competing for their guaranteed spot in the girls state basketball tournament March 3-5 in Lincoln. Nebraska City, Norris, Platteview, Plattsmouth and Waverly combine for the seventh-highest collective winning percentage of the tournaments selected; yet the B-1 is loaded with teams hoping to bring home the gold.

We did select a Class A game for this Top 10 since Class A's district assignments have not been announced yet. While a regular-season game may not carry the same importance to some teams, as one of these tournaments, it is a big one to say the least.

Bellevue West goes into Friday's featured contest having won nine of its last 10 contests, while Fremont has won 16 straight in-state games since falling to Papillion-LaVista South 62-54 in the season opener. The Tigers are 17-4 on the year when including Fremont's trip to Arizona to compete in the Nike Tournament of Champions in December. Tony Weinandt's club produced a 1-3 record at one of the nation's premier tournaments.

Below, listed under each subdistrict/district, are the teams that will compete in that tournament as well as each school's record through last Saturday's games and the MaxPreps ranking of each school as of Monday.
