CHAPEL HILL — The N.C. High School Athletic Association released the first preliminary playoff brackets after 6:00 p.m., Saturday, and a number of errors were found with them.

Around 9:30 p.m., Rick Strunk, the associate executive director of the NCHSAA, sent a press release to members of the media with updated first round pairings for all eight state tournaments.

In the press release, Strunk said, "There were at least five cases where conferences reported incorrect ten game records that caused some reseeding, especially in 4-A and 4-AA."

The latest brackets are finalized, according to Strunk. "We incorporated all of the changes we were informed of," Strunk said, adding that the brackets are now listed as "finalized."

The first preliminary brackets were supposed to be released by 4 p.m., but were delayed by a few hours. Originally, the finalized brackets were expected to be posted on the NCHSAA Web site by 6 p.m.

During the night, the NCHSAA also experienced problems with their Web site as heavy traffic began to lock it up. Visitors could not open pages, and the NCHSAA staff could not upload brackets to the site.

The brackets all got shifted around because the NCHSAA put Ardrey-Kell in after dropping a loss, but they were not eligible to drop a loss, so they had to drop a win. That's why Wakefield got moved to Lumberton.

squirralshaq......... I'm not sure what HS games you've been following. However. don't lose sight of Independence in the 4AA. They seem to know how to get it done.

Yeah, the record error was reported to the NCHSAA last night, but it will not change anything in the playoffs, so I guess they just didn't change it.

I'm pretty sure this week at practice the team will be reminded of that and the total lack of respect shown them. Millbrook will be ready to play this week. It's playoff time and there is unfinished business from last year when Millbrook got screwed by poor/home town officating in New Bern.

Yeah, how is seventy 71st 9-1, when jack britt and richmond co. beat them? Will this change the ranking of seventy first or will they still have to play purnell swett?

South view isn't that good. There center is a good size kid. If you have a good run stop defense you can beat them. They also have a trick play or two up there sleeve. Purnell Swett had them where they wanted them and blew the game. We had a touchdown called back that was a terrible call because the holding call had nothing to do with play because the qb scored off an option play. Then the referee threw the flag 20 yards behind the play. There was a controversial call that cost us the game in OT. Plus our shrine bowl linebacker was out that game which he averages 17 tackles a game. So we had to come up with 17 tackles. So yes there very beatable unless they show me different, you will wonder how they won a conference championship.

Gotta respect the CAP7...this should be an interesting play-off run. And pwayscue, lay off the cheerleaders...if you don't think they can be a part of the game, you should come witness the frenzy at a WFR game. We have the total package...players, coaches, fans AND cheerleaders.
