OSSAA releases Class 5A Boys East Regional bracket

Feb. 14—The brackets are locked in.

The Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association released the complete Class 5A Boys East Regional Tournament brackets on Wednesday, with McAlester learning its playoff destination.

The Buffs will travel to the Booker T. Washington regional alongside the host school, Sapulpa, and Claremore. McAlester will open with the host Hornets Feb. 22 at 6 p.m.

With a new format, the 5A regional tournament is now a double-elimination tournament. A win for the Buffs would put McAlester in Feb. 23's regional final against the winner between Sapulpa and Claremore, while a loss will see the Buffs face the loser of that game at 6 p.m. Feb. 23.

The OSSAA Class 5A Boys East Regional Tournaments are scheduled for Feb. 22-24, with a winner and consolation winner advancing into the area tournament.
