WEST REGION BOYS BASKETBALL HISTORY
1981 - 2006

Procedures for bringing a field of eight teams to the State Class A Basketball Tournament were changed for the 1981 season and since that time the West Region has sent nine different teams as their representatives from 1982-2005. From 1981-1990, advancement to the state required that a team finish in the top three places at the West Region Tournament. Beginning with 1991, the top four teams advance. The following is a record of each team’s placement for the 26 years of this tourney (the numbers indicate the scores in the games for first, second, third and fourth):
