Now that all of the district basketball hardware has been passed out, it's time for local teams to take the next step and that's the region tournaments.
All of the quarterfinal games will be played at the higher seeded team with semifinals and finals in one location.
Sale Creek will host the 3-A tournament while McMinn County has the 3-AA and Cleveland the 3-AAA. The site for the 4-AA tournament has yet to be determined.
The girls play their quarterfinals on Friday while the guys take center stage on Saturday. All games are set to begin at 7 p.m. local time.
The only exception to those dates is Grace Academy, which will host both Whitwell teams on Friday night.
