CURTIS ROCKWELL/Sports Director

With almost all prep basketball teams in the “Southern Six” at the midway point (or past in some cases)of their region schedules, attention begins to turn towards the postseason.

Region tournaments follow regular season action and then the opening round of the state playoffs are on tap after that. If teams are lucky enough to qualify for the overall quarterfinals, the schedule for those sites and game times in respective classifications was recently released by the Mississippi High School Activities Association.

The “Southern Six” will host all of the larger classification contests. Here are the complete schedules:
