Playoff Brackets

They are a day late but  as expected the Big East got seven teams into the state playoffs which kick offs off Tuesday unless both teams agree  to play Monday.

The Lady Gryphons draw the number five seed and will have a home game Tuesday night against Westover from Fayetteville.  Coach Mike Gainey Athletic Director at Rocky Mount is shooting for. A 6pm tip. Westover will be bringing a 10-10 record up I-95.
Should victory be secured by the Lady Gryphons they are matched up with Northwood seeded 14th 18-2 against JF Webb 12-8

The Big East number two Nash Central gets and 11 seeding and a home game against Western Alamance 12-8.  A win would give the Lady Bulldogs a second home game against either Union Pines 19-1 or Swansboro 11-9

Fike as the Big East number 3 seed also gets a home game as they host Grays Creek.  Hunt is the only Big East girls team on the road traveling to NE Guilford.

The NCHSAA is using a new computer format and the guys from Northern Nash should like the new system. They draw the number one over all seed in the east and have a computer record of 20-0.

 This year with only one game the Regional Final as the only game played in Fayetteville all the Knights need to do is win and they will receive four home games until the Regional Final.  They host Tuesday NE Guilford 10-10.  A victory Tuesday would throw the Knights into a game with the winner of Fike 17-3 or Grays Creek.  That game will be at Fike.

Nash Central the Big East number two gets a nine seed and will host Chapel Hill 13-7.  A first round match up would send the Bulldogs to Southern Lee if they beat Havelock or Havelock to Nash Central.

The Big East should love this new computer rankings as the Big East has only one road game in the opening round.

North Carolina Wesleyan Basketball season came to an end today at home as the Bishops beat Huntingdon 94-76.  The Conference USA South scoring leader Adrian Moore sat out today's game due To a sprained ankle injury suffered during Saturday's game.

Not to worry however as the Bishops had plenty of help keeping Huntingdon winless in conference play this year.  Freshman center AJ Frye poured in 27 points.  Sophomore Robert Wilson pitched in 25 while Greg Joesph who got most of the Moore injury playing time added 15 and Justin Tankelewicz produced 12.  The win  guaranteed the Battling Bishops a winning season with the entire team returning next year.
