Three of the local schools will all be in action at Bryant Reeves Fieldhouse as Gans hosts a Class A, Area III district tournament. Gans will face Cave Springs in both the girls and the boys games on Friday night. The losers of those contests will be eliminated, while the winners will move on to play Central in Saturday's championship games. Both the district champ and the runner-up will advance to next week's regional tournament. Gans will also be a sub-site for the regionals, with NEO A&M in Miami serving as the main host.
In Class B, Webbers Falls has been assigned to the Area III district tourney at Boynton-Moton. The Lady Warriors will open at 6:30 p.m. Thursday against Midway. A Webbers Falls win would match them up with the Braggs/Boynton winner for the district title on Saturday. The Webbers Falls boys are scheduled to play their first-round game at 6:30 p.m. Friday, also against Midway. The winner will most likely play No. 2-ranked Boynton in Saturday's final. First-round losers are eliminated while both finalists will move on to next week's regional tourney.
District play in Classes 4A, 3A and 2A is scheduled for Feb. 18-19. In 4A, Sallisaw will host the highly-ranked Fort Gibson boys and girls teams on Feb. 18, while Muldrow will travel to Checotah on the same night. Roland will host Hilldale on Feb. 19. The two county teams in Class 2A have been assigned to different areas. Gore, which is in Area IV, will play its district at Warner on Feb. 19. Vian is in Area III and will play at Keys, also on Feb. 19.
