LOUISVILLE, Ky. \u2014 The postponement of Kentucky\u2019s state tournament last week forced a waiting game atop the USA TODAY Sports\/NFCA High School Super 25 poll.<\/p>\n

Unbeaten No. 3 Louisville Male (36-0) was poised to possibly overtake the two teams ahead of it if they won a state championship. But the weather was able to do something the Bulldogs\u2019 opponents haven\u2019t been able to do: stop them.<\/p>\n

They will now play their state quarterfinal with Boyle County, which the Bulldogs beat 14-0 in both teams\u2019 season opener in March, on Friday night. Should they win, a Saturday meeting with either Madisonville-North Hopkins or Clay County would be next, followed by Sunday\u2019s title game if they win in the semis. All games are at the University of Kentucky\u2019s John Cropp Stadium.<\/p>\n

Only one team in Kentucky state history has finished the season unbeaten \u2014 Greenwood, who went 44-0 in 2013. A perfect season would make it logical that Male would leapfrog both Neshoba Central and Norco, who both have losses and no more games remaining.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Wisconsin did<\/em> get its tournament games in, and Oshkosh North put a bow on its own undefeated season by outlasting last year\u2019s state champ, Sun Prairie, 4-2 in nine innings, in the final. The (31-0) Spartans rolled past Nicolet, 10-0, in the quarterfinals, and dispatched Kenosha Bradford\/Reuther, 4-0, in the semis. Northwestern University-bound pitcher Sydney Supple set a Division 1 tournament record with 36 strikeouts in the tournament for Oshkosh North, which tied the all-divisions state mark.<\/p>\n

New Palestine (29-3) rolled past Yorktown, 10-0, to repeat as Indiana state class 3A titlist and remain at No. 11, while Donovan Catholic (30-2) surged to 16th after wrapping up its season with a 10-0 rout of Cedar Grove in New Jersey\u2019s Tournament of Champions final.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Marist (36-4) slipped to 19th after falling in the Illinois state semifinals.<\/p>\n
