The regular season is winding down, and many district races — both for championships and playoff spots — have taken shape. But with another week and a half remaining before we shift our attention to the postseason, there’s still plenty of intrigue remaining for area boys basketball fans.

This week’s slate, in particular, may seem light on marquee matchups, but there are several under-the-radar games worth keeping an eye on as several Big Country squads fight for their playoff lives or to improve their postseason seeding.

We hope you enjoy this look at the biggest matchups the Big Country boys basketball schedule has to offer this week and some notes on last week’s most important happenings.
