Hoop seasons are heading down the stretch
With just over a week left before the end of the basketball regular season, posted below is an updated list for teams that have already qualified for the District 11 postseason and ones that lurk in the hunt with their final games left on the schedule.
Listed below is a breakdown of each class and as a quick reminder, in order to qualify for the postseason, teams must compile a .500 record in their overall record or a .500 record in their league record.
However, the opportunity for below .500 teams to qualify for districts is there if the minimum number of playoff spots in a class is not reached.
