Hornets, Lady Hornets clinch bids to 7A State Tournament

Both Bryant High School basketball teams have officially secured a bid to the Class 7A State[more] Tournament, which will be held at the new arena at Fayetteville High School starting Wednesday, Feb. 27.

The Hornets are currently seeded fourth in the West with two games to go. They have an outside chance at catching Bentonville for the third seed but also could fall back into the fifth seed with Van Buren trying to catch up.

The Lady Hornets are in the sixth spot going into this Friday's action. They too have an outside chance to move up. They're chasing Fayetteville for the fifth seed.

Bryant travels to Lake Hamilton on Friday before hosting El Dorado in the regular-season finale on Tuesday, Feb. 19.

The rest of the teams in Class 7A still have three games left, extending the regular season to Friday, Feb. 22.

If the season ended today, the Hornets would open State against Conway in a 4-5 game; the Lady Hornets would open against West Memphis in a 3-6 contest.
