Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center will be the site the state basketball championships Friday and Saturday. But hold off on booking flights or hotel reservations. First up are Tuesday’s Southern California regional finals to decide who gets to make the trip. There are rematches and that means surprises are possible.

The final game of the 2024-25 season, the boys Open, drew the most fans. The second-place game might be a surprise.

The Class 4A boys’ basketball championship game is scheduled to tip at 7 p.m., which will be the final state-culminating event of the high school winter sports season. A new 4A boys champion will be crowned after defending state champ Cheyenne Central was eliminated in the East Regionals over the weekend.
