Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reporters break down state basketball tournaments as teams advance to state championship games this week in Hot Springs. The Springdale boys (6A), Greenwood girls (5A), Farmington girls (4A), Lamar girls (3A) and County Line boys (1A) all punched their tickets to the state finals.
Also, coaches in the 6A state tournament are not in favor of getting byes, saying it completely changes their weekly routine, having as many as 8 days between games. How can that be remedied so teams do not have such long layoffs between the end of the regular season and the start of tournament play?
