Those four will now advance to the state competition, which is Feb. 3 in Dale. State champions will then advance to the Southwest Region 11 Semifinal to be held March 16 in Dallas against winners from Louisiana, New Mexico and Texas. The national finals are April 20 in Chicago, Ill. Also locally, Grace Mays was the 12-13 year-old girls’ runner-up by making 19 of 25 shots. She’ll be an alternate for the state competition.
