“We are working diligently on contingency plans to conduct state championships in each of the activities that have been suspended,” said UIL Executive Director Dr. Charles Breithaupt. “ While the immediate future is unclear, we are committed to providing these much-desired activities to all Texas students and  will prepare for all possible outcomes , including extended school closures. 

Texas Basketball Championships, TBC for short, has state qualifying tournaments schedule to start in April and now, those SQTs will not take place.
