Basketball sets opening rounds of area tournaments

This year’s area tournaments will look a lot different from years past because of coronavirus precautions. Game locations will vary from game to game, and higher seeds will host all area tournament games.

The opening rounds of the 2021 area tournaments are listed here. The finals will be later next week.

Ticket availability will be limited. Each school will have different capacity limits based on size sent in to the ASHAA. All tickets must be purchased on the GoFan app, and capacity limits will be strictly enforced.
