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 See something out of date?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

Summary

All four VPA divisions hold semifinals and finals at the Barre Aud. Montpelier beat U-32 81-48 in the 2025 D-II final. Smallest state in the region — field sizes per division are modest, but the Barre Aud is the spiritual home of Vermont basketball going back decades.

What makes this tournament distinct

Barre Auditorium has hosted VT championship basketball longer than almost any venue in the country still in use for it. Concentrated calendar — multiple division semis on the same weekend.

Who it fits

Best for: VPA public schools across all four divisions.

Tradeoffs: Vermont's small population means Division III and IV brackets thin out. NFHS Network only — no broadcast TV.
