The Class 3, District 3 boys basketball semifinals are set to hit the Regional Radio airwaves Tuesday on J-98.

The first matchup features the #1 seed St. Pius Lancers doing battle with the #5 seed in the Arcadia Valley Tigers.

St. Pius has had to adjust to a February 6th season-ending injury to their leading scorer in junior Riley Naeger.

Head coach Eric Lawrence says his team is handling the loss well.

On the other side for Arcadia Valley, they are coming off an upset over the fourth-seeded West County Bulldogs in the quarterfinals.

Head coach Ricky Turnbough knows this game will be tough but also believes his team has a good shot at advancing to the finals.

In the second game of the evening the host and #2 seed Jefferson Bluejays take on the #3 seed Scott City Rams.

Jefferson R7 made history on Saturday when they won their first ever district tournament game.

Head coach of the Scott City Rams Mark Dannenmueller says his team has been going through highs and lows this season and has been dealing with some injuries of late.

Tipoff from Jefferson R7 High School is set for 4:30 with the Flieg’s Equipment Pregame Show beginning at 4:15 on J98.
