The boys and girls basketball playoffs for both Nassau and Suffolk have arrived.

There were a few games scheduled for yesterday, but a majority of the first-round matchups for both Nassau and Suffolk are slated for the coming days.

Yesterday, the boys of Elwood-John Glenn were slated to welcome East Hampton for an opening round matchup in Suffolk’s Class A tournament; and the girls of Half Hollow Hills High School West welcomed Huntington for a play-in game in Suffolk’s Class AA tournament.

The remainder of the schedule for today and this weekend is printed below. To keep up with the brackets, visit Nassauboces.org for Nassau or Sectionxi.org for Suffolk.
