Two tournaments are set as basketball season closes in

Coaches determined the brackets last week for the Arcadia Valley Thanksgiving Tournament, and this week the lineup was set for the Lion's Roar Tournament at Senath-Hornersville.

Both tournaments are among a handful that get the season going in full swing later this month.

Not every Southeast Missouri boys team will open its season with tournaments, and for a full look at schedules, longtime basketball historian Al Jackson has compiled his annual detailed list of the area's boys teams and schedules. Take a look at the full list (in Word document form) at this link.

Several tournaments and event schedules have already been posted in the forum, with several more to come in the next few days. Click here for the list.
