What you need to know about the HS state basketball tournament

Here's some news you can use if you plan to attend a high school basketball state tournament game during the next few weeks. The first round will be played Friday and Saturday. Girls games are typically Friday, and boys games Saturday. The first three rounds are played at the home gym of the higher-seeded teams. In the third round, when same-seeded teams can meet for the first time, a coin flip determines the home team. The semifinals (March 2-3) and finals (March 7-10) will be played at neutral sites. Fo
