Brossart has a chance to sweep the 10th Region All “A” Classic basketball championships for the ninth time in tournament history Thursday when the boys and girls teams play in back-to-back title games at Robertson County.

The Brossart girls team rolled to a 63-19 semifinal win over Augusta on Wednesday, one day after the boys team got past Augusta, 73-68, in their semifinal showdown. The Mustangs’ opponents in the region finals will be the Paris boys at 6 p.m. and the Bracken County girls at 7:30 p.m.

In 9th Region boys quarterfinal games on Wednesday, Beechwood got past Holy Cross, 50-41, and Newport Central Catholic knocked off Heritage Academy, 75-36. The winners will meet in a semifinal game at 7:45 p.m. Friday at Dayton High School.
