The Championships returned in 1953 for all three classifications, with the 3A remaining there in 1954. The 1A title was also contested there in 1959.

The 2A men’s basketball championships were held in Winston-Salem every year from 1960-80. 2024 will mark the first women’s championship contested in Winston-Salem.

Ticket information will be made available on the basketball championship page at a later date.
