x–clinched conference title, No. 1 state playoff bid
Locked up state playoff bids: Newton-Conover, No. 1.
Probable conference tournament seedings
Ties: Bandys-Lincolnton for second, Bandys No. 2 via 2-1 record against Lincolnton; Maiden-N. Lincoln for fourth; Maiden No. 4 via 1-1 vs. Bandys while N. Lincoln 0-2 vs. Bandys…. Note: The ties are broken for conference tournament seedings ONLY, and the tie for the No. 2 state playoff bid will be determined by results in the conference tournament (most likely scenario is a Bandys-Lincolnton semifinal to determine No. 2 or — if both fall in the tournament, a special added playoff game for No. 2). If one loses in the first round and the other in a semifinal, a North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) officials said Friday that a playoff game will still be needed unless the schools mutually agree to another tie-breaking method.
No. 8 W. Lincoln vs. No. 1 Newton-Conover
No. 5 N. Lincoln vs. No. 4 Maiden
No. 6 E. Lincoln vs No. 3 Lincolnton

Conf. All
x-E. Burke 12-0 19-5
Bunker Hill 8-4 17-7

Hibriten 2-10 6-17
x–clinched conference title No. 1 state playoff bid
Locked up state playoff bids: East Burke, No. 1.
Probable conference tournament seedings
Ties: Bunker Hill-Patton for second, Patton No. 2 via 2-0 vs. Foard, Bunker Hill 1-1 vs. Foard; Hibriten-Draughn for sixth, draw as both teams have same records against rest of league’s teams. Note: The tie for the No. 2 automatic state playoff bid is not broken since Patton did not earn No. 2 for the conference tournament by sweeping Bunker Hill in the regular season. If that meet in a semifinal, that game would determine the automatic bid; if they both lose any point in the tournament (other than the final), a special playoff game will be needed unless the schools mutually agree to another tie-breaking method.
No. 1 E. Burke, bye
No. 5 W. Iredell vs. No. 4 Fred T. Foard
No. 7 Draughn or Hibriten vs. No. 2 Patton
No. 6 Draughn or Hibriten vs. No. 3 Bunker Hill

x–clinched conference title No. 1 state 3A playoff bid; a–clinched state 4A playoff bid.
Locked up state playoff bids: Freedom, No. 1 3A; McDowell, No. 1 4A.
Probable conference tournament seedings
Ties: Hickory, McDowell, Watauga for second, all have same comparative records, draw. Note: McDowell has the No. 1 4A state playoff bid because it finished ahead of South Caldwell… The automatic 3A No. 2 bid is between Hickory and Watauga, who split in the regular season. If neither gets to the final and they don’t meet in the conference tournament, an additional playoff game would be needed unless the schools mutually agree to another tie-breaking method.
No. 8 Alexander Central vs. No. 1 Freedom
No. 5 S. Caldwell vs. No. 4 Hickory, McDowell or Watauga
No. 7 St. Stephens vs. No. 2 Hickory, McDowell or Watauga
No. 6 W. Caldwell vs. No. 3 Hickory, McDowell or Watauga
