Sub-Regional Pairings Set
High school basketball area tournaments are now over and here is where the rubber meets the road. Area champions and runner-ups made it to the sub-regional round, but from here on through the Final 48 in Birmingham, it’s one loss and you’re out. Several local teams are in the mix including Class 1A Area 12 champ Sacred Heart. Cardinal Head Coach Ralph Graves says the mentality has to stay the same even though the stakes are getting higher. Sacred Heart will host Woodville in a Northeast Sub-Regional Contest this Friday night at 7.
Full list of sub-regional pairings involving local teams listed below. All local teams will compete in the Northeast Sub-Regional unless otherwise noted. Girls will play on Thursday night at 7:00 pm (unless otherwise noted). The boys will play on Friday night at 7:00 pm (unless otherwise noted).
