LIVINGSTON-Even though both the boys and girls Clay County High School basketball teams lost their opening-round contests here in the District 7-A tournament, they will each go on the road this weekend to compete in Region 4-A play after receiving automatic bids to the next post-season round via their conference-tourney seeding.
