The SSAC will meet in Wheeling to set pairings and sites for next year's regional basketball and baseball tournaments. A major change may be fewer double hosting nights and wider site spread, with regions possibly playing in Huntington Williamson Logan or elsewhere. Officials dismiss two eight team state tours and rating-based selections, stressing value of sectionals and regionals for funds and participation.
