The girls final is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. at Vicksburg High, while the boys final will be played at the same time at Warren Central. This will mark the first games of the season for the two highest classification county teams.

Warren Central’s Lady Vikes open things up on Tuesday at 4 p.m. against Wingfield. Warren Central’s boys are scheduled to tip off at 8:30 Tuesday night against Natchez.

At Vicksburg High, the Gators are scheduled to play Hazlehurst at 5:30 p.m., while the Missy Gators will follow against Canton at 7.

Hazlehurst likely will not be at full strength because its football team is still in the playoffs. Of the eight teams entered, only the Indians are still playing football.
