CHAPEL HILL – The North Carolina High School Athletic Association Board of Directors and Commissioner Que Tucker have made the difficult decision to move playoff dates following historic flooding in many parts of eastern North Carolina.
“The logistics of moving the fall championships dates, especially this close to the events are complex; however, we must do everything in our power to do what is best for our student-athletes in the state,” said Commissioner Que Tucker. “Keeping our young people safe as we try to minimize risk of injury must be paramount in our decisions.”

*****With the Championship games now set for December 17 with the 4-A’s and the 4-AA teams, the NC-SC Shrine Bowl game is set for the same day and if say Dudley or Page is in a NCHSAA Championship Game on the 17th then that means Hendon Hooker(Dudley HS) and Will Jones(Page HS) would not be able to play in the Shrine Bowl Game and currently, they are the only two QB’s set on the North Carolina Roster….Makes for some interesting changes….
