HOOVER GIRLS BASKETBALL TRAIN ROLLS INTO STATE TOURNAMENT
The Hoover girls basketball team advanced to next weekend’s Division I state tournament with a decisive 62-45 victory over Solon on Friday night.

The top two teams, Jackson and Lake, had to choose opposite district sites, but the remaining teams could place themselves into either district bracket. This format will remain in place for two seasons before being evaluated. Reaction to the new format has been generally positive, although opinions vary on the subject.
