The Basketball Championship Games are Set

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.

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?
