This is the bracket for the Region 4B Girls Basketball Tournament set to begin tonight, with No. 8 Freeman Academy/Marion hosting No. 9 Gayville-Volin in Marion starting at 6 p.m. The Bearcats lost to the Raiders 44-38 during the regular season.

Region 4B action is scheduled to continue Tuesday night at two locations — Centerville and Viborg-Hurley — and it appears the games will be able to be played ahead of the incoming storm (although the start time has been moved up). Freeman Public will face Alcester-Hudson at 4 p.m. in Centerville, followed by Menno and Centerville.

The final round is set for Thursday, Feb. 23, buy the mid-week weather could impact those games. Watch for updates when they are available.
