Here is a look, at what to look for, when the NCHSAA Basketball Playoffs hit Round Two on Thursday, of this week…
We have 13 teams from Guilford County left/remaining in the hunt…Most of the game times are listed at 7pm, per NCHSAA listed brackets and those game times may be subject to change, except in the case of Doubleheaders with those times set for 6 girls and 7:30pm for the boys, as is the case for the Northwest Guilford Vikings….Some schools may move those 7pm games up to 6pm, or 6:30, if they can get both schools to agree to the earlier time slot…
Here is what we have for Thursday, February 27…..
