An already historic 2024-25 season for the PRA High School boys' basketball team has added its latest chapter this week when the Miners were awarded the No. 4 seed, and regional hosting rights for the first two rounds, in the Class 4A Boys Basketball State Tournament!
PRA (17-6 overall), which has already set a school record for wins in a season, will begin the state tournament with a 5 p.m. home game this Friday against No. 29 seed Delta High School. If the Miners win, they'll host either No. 13 The Classical Academy or No. 20 DSST College View at 1 p.m. Saturday.
All K-12 students get into Friday's for free, while adult tickets ($8) and senior citizen tickets ($5) are available for purchase online.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the girls' basketball Senior Night game against rival Stargate!! Our Miners closed out the home portion of their schedule with a 47-40 victory!
It was a great way to honor our one senior, forward Kayah Robbins, who will graduate from PRA with SIX SCHOOL RECORDS, including the girls' basketball program's career scoring and career rebounding records. Not too shabby for a future collegiate soccer player 😉 #PRAMiners
