TOURNAMENT HISTORY

Procedures for bringing a field of eight teams to the State Class A Basketball Tournament were changed for the 1980 season and since that time the West Region has sent eight different teams as their representatives from 1980-2004. From 1980-90, advancement to the state required that a team finish in the top three places at the West Region Tournament. Beginning with 1990, the top four teams advance. The following is a record of each team’s placement for the 24 years of this tourney (the numbers indicate the scores in the games for first, second, third and fourth):
