Twelve gold balls will be on the line over three days in the MHSAA State Basketball Championships at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson. Mississippi Farm Bureau is once again a presenting sponsor for the basketball championships.
“It’s great to be completing a basketball season in the Big House,” MHSAA Executive Director Rickey Neaves said. “It’s been a year where a lot of people had doubts we’d even be able to play basketball. It’s a credit to our schools, administrators and coaches that we’re on the verge of finishing. We hope fans and communities will come out to support these teams and players in these championship games because they truly deserve it.”
