The region basketball tournaments are not that far away and every sub-region and region win can help a team’s seeding. For some teams, like Fayette County's Lady Tiger, each game could have a big impact on defending their AAAA state title.

Fayette County’s boys (13-1), ranked second in Class AAAA in the latest GACA PrepCounty.com coaches poll, passed 100 points for the first time this year with a 108-56 win over Harris County on Friday.

If you’re looking for a great high school basketball atmosphere, you only need to go as far as the annual games between Starr’s Mill and McIntosh.

The Sandy Creek Patriots were in control of their state playoff game against Butler from the kickoff. Eric Swinney returned the opening kick 90 yards for a touchdown and the Patriots never trailed.
