Unifour playoff seedings

It appears certain that nine Unifour teams have made the playoffs in five different brackets. One of the teams with their fingers crossed, hoping to get into the dance, were the Alexander Central Cougars. The Cougars upset South Caldwell last night in a must-win game. Nevertheless, the Cougars will be staying home this season.

Another development, as mentioned a little earlier, is that despite Saint's shocking upset of Fred T. Foard to clinch the CVAC's second automatic 3A berth, the Indians only received a #14 seed - just ahead of Hickory's #15 seed. I'd say the NCHSAA did not display much respect for either program. Call it the curse of the CVAC...

Here is a list of the teams that got in and their opponents. I'm including A.C. Reynolds and Watauga because they play in the Northwestern 4A Conference along with several Unifour teams.

#10 South Caldwell at #7 R.J. Reynolds
#11 South Meck at #6 East Burke
#15 North Davidson at #2 A.C. Reynolds
#14 Watauga at #3 Crest

#15 Hickory at #2 Kings Mountain
