Homewood’s boys hosted and won the Class 6A, Area 9 tournament. After starting the area tournament with a 104-17 win over Jackson-Olin, the Patriots earned the title with a 50-45 win over Minor on Tuesday.
The boys then hosted Shades Valley on Saturday in the sub-regional round of the playoffs and scratched out a 38-36 win over the Mounties.
Homewood now advances to the Northeast Regional Tournament, which will be played at Jacksonville State University. The Patriots will now take on a familiar foe, Mountain Brook, in the opening round of the tournament on Friday at 10:30 a.m.

The Lady Patriots beat Parker 55-41 in the opening round of the area tournament, before falling to Minor 47-40 in the area final. In the sub-regional round, Homewood took to the road and gave Oxford a challenge, ultimately falling 55-53.
John Carroll’s boys fell to Wenonah 86-67 in the opening round of the Class 5A, Area 9 tournament. John Carroll’s girls won their first game in the area tournament to advance to sub-regionals, where the Lady Cavs fell to Springville 74-40 on Friday.
