The matchups are set for the N.C. High School Athletic Association’s 2025 boys and girls basketball state playoffs.

Final brackets were released by the NCHSAA. The first four rounds will be played at the higher seed, while the semifinals and state championships will be played at a single neutral site — Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum on the campus of Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem.

Last year was the first time the NCHSAA used the “Final Four” style format for the semifinals and finals.
