Texas UIL State Basketball Championships Wrap Up at the Alamodome

The 2026 Texas UIL State Basketball Championships concluded at the Alamodome in San Antonio, with small-school champions kicking off the multi-day event before the larger classifications took center stage.

In Class 1A Division 1, Perrin-Whitt captured the state championship, while Jayton took the 1A Division 2 crown. Class 2A saw Waco Meyer win the Division 1 title and Martin's Mill capture the Division 2 championship.

Texas remains one of the most competitive states for high school basketball at every level, from 1A six-man communities to the 6A powerhouses in Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio. The Alamodome provides a professional-level venue that gives these student-athletes a championship experience they'll never forget.

For youth basketball programs across Texas, the UIL state tournament serves as the ultimate aspirational goal. Many of the players competing on this stage got their start in local AAU and rec programs, making the pipeline from grassroots to high school varsity a tangible pathway that coaches and parents can point to.
