South, North hit the road in state playoffs’ first round
Fresh off of heavy losses last Friday night, South and North Brunswick will travel this coming Friday in the first round of the North Carolina high school football playoffs. South, the number 11 seed in the 2AA East with an 8-2 record, will head to East Duplin, the number six seed with an identical 8-2 record. North Brunswick (6-4), the number 10 seed in the 2A East, visits Southwest Onslow, the number seven seed with a record of 8-2.
Football is the only North Carolina high school sport with A and AA subdivisions within each classification. Teams’ placement in those subdivisions is based on their “ADM number,” which refers to the number of students that attend a school.
Complete playoff brackets can be found at www.nchsaa.org - click on “Playoff Brackets” beneath the photo, and then click on “View Championship Brackets” and pick the appropriate one thereafter. I would have uploaded them here but the site would only allow a blank bracket, which obviously wouldn’t have done much good. Check Wednesday’s paper for analysis and, hopefully, full brackets for the 2A and 2AA subdivisions.
