The second season is about to start for local high school basketball teams.
Area tournament play begins in statewide next week.
Area tournament champions and runners-up advance to the sub-regional round on Feb. 13 (girls) and Feb. 14 (boys). Sub-regional game winners advance to the regional round and regional champions advance to the state tournament.
The AHSAA is requiring all area tournament tickets be purchased on the GoFan app.
Two Jackson County teams, Skyline’s girls and North Sand Mountain’s boys, are hosting their respective area tournaments.
In the Class 1A Area 15 Tournaments, the fourth-seeded team will host the fifth-seeded team before the rest of the tournament shifts to the site of the regular-season area champion. In the Class 1A Area 15 Boys Tournament, fifth-seeded Woodville plays at fourth-seeded Valley Head Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 p.m.
