Information on this page is reconstructed from limited available data and may not be completely accurate. Playoff brackets from the MSHSAA website are assumed to display the semifinal games as 1v4 and 3v2, in that order top-to-bottom. However, each bracket shows the teams assumed to be the 1 and 3 seeds as winning the semifinal matches in 1996, so it is quite possible the seeding shown below is not accurate.
