The other eight teams that will compete in the top portion of the regional tournament bracket will begin play Thursday at Calumet High School. The final two days of the Region 1 tournament will take place at the Mvskoke Dome, as the remaining six teams at the Calumet sub-regional will come to town to continue their postseason journeys and join the six remaining teams from Thursday’s action in Okmulgee with Friday’s tournament action being the consolation semifinal round for both divisions and Saturday’s tournament action will feature the girls and boys consolation title games at 1 and 2:30 p.m., respectively, and the girls and boys regional championship games at 6 and 7:30 p.m., respectively.

The eight teams that will be competing at the Mvskoke Dome on Thursday will be the Paden Pirates and Lady Pirates, McCurtain Bulldogs and Lady Bulldogs, Moss Pirates and Lady Pirates, LeFlore Lady Savages, and Oaks-Mission Warriors.

The eight teams that will begin regional tournament play Thursday at Calumet High School are the Calumet Chieftains, Prue Lady Rockets, Billings Bulldogs, Olive Lady Wildcats, Dover Longhorns and Lady Longhorns, and the Mulhall-Orlando Panthers and Lady Panthers.

After the conclusion of the first boys game on each day of the regional tournament, the Mvskoke Dome will be cleared to allow for cleaning.
