Last verified: . See something out of date? Tell us.

Summary

Rhode Island state finals at the AMP (formerly the Dunkin' Donuts Center) in downtown Providence. Three divisions, both boys and girls, run over a 3-day window in early March. Smaller state means tighter field, but the venue is legitimate — 12,000-plus seats, also home to Friars college basketball.

What makes this tournament distinct

Same arena Providence College plays in. State is small enough that the championship draws a real crowd.

Who it fits

Best for: RIIL Division I, II, III contenders.

Tradeoffs: Three-division structure means even the biggest schools play a smaller-state-sized bracket. RI doesn't have many true national programs at the public-school level.
