The Basketball Championship Games are Set

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.
