For this week’s Hot Tickets, here’s a look at the 10 local high school basketball teams playing in their respective Hardwood Classics.

The 12-team tournaments begin with Wednesday’s loser-out games. The winners of those contests advance to Thursday’s quarterfinals. From there, the tournaments take on a modified double-elimination format, where one loss eliminates a team from state-title contention and two losses eliminate a team from the tournament.

The numbers next to each team indicate their seeding among the 16 teams in each classification that qualified for last weekend’s state regional round.
