(WAFF) - Itâs State Basketball week! Monday started at Bartow Arena for a pair of 6A games.

HANCEVILLE A historic run has come to an end. The Clay-Chalkville boys, in their first-ever appearance in a regional final, suffered a hard-fought 48-41 loss to Scottsboro on Wednesday at Tom Drake Coliseum in Hanceville, ending their season at 21-5 overall. The Wildcats led for all but nine seconds of the game after jumping out to an 8-0 advantage in the opening minutes. Clay-Chalkville senior Skyler Smith gave his boys their first and only lead at 41-40 with 2:10 remaining in the contest. However, his go-ahead 3-pointer was immediately answered by a B.J. Harris jumper that put Scottsboro back on top for good with 2:01 left in the Northwest Regional final.
PINSON The Pinson Valley boys saw it come to an end on Friday night at home. Two days after knocking off top-ranked Hartselle, the No. 7-ranked Indians fell to Scottsboro 69-67 in the second round of the Class 6A playoffs, ending their season at 20-5 overall. Due to multiple postponements on the topside of the Northwest bracket, Scottsboro is unsure who its Elite 8 opponent will be. Possibilities include No. 6 Clay-Chalkville, Muscle Shoals, Hazel Green and Buckhorn. The Wildcats will play one of them next Tuesday in the Northwest Regional finals at Wallace State Community College in Hanceville. The game went to overtime on Friday tied at 59, and Scottsboro opened the extra period on a 5-0 run that would prove too much to overcome for the home team. Wildcats senior Javaris Branford sank three attempts in two free-throw appearances in the final seconds to preserve the playoff win.
