2A West Girls Basketball Projection
Time of last update — Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 3:07 p.m.
Automatic bids
- Note: Where there is a currently-unbreakable tie for an automatic bid, we are using RPI (which is how the NCHSAA breaks ties that cannot be done by head-to-head or “best win”). If projections are updated before conference play begins, we use RPI to project the conference champion.
- Conference champs are in bold. Conference champs who would not be seeded as conference champs if the playoffs began today are in bold italics.
*Catawba Shores 1-seed: Lincoln Charter
Catawba Valley champ: East Burke
Catawba Valley 2nd place: Newton-Conover
*Central Carolina 1-seed: Lexington
Foothills champ: North Wilkes
Foothills 2nd place: Forbush
Mid-State champ: T.W. Andrews
Mid-State 2nd place: West Stokes
*Mountain Foothills 1-seed: East Rutherford
*Mountain Foothills 2-seed: Hendersonville
*PAC-7 1-seed: Southwestern Randolph
**Rocky River 1-seed: Monroe
*Southern Piedmont 1-seed: Shelby
*Western Highlands 1-seed: Owen
*Yadkin Valley 1-seed: Mount Pleasant
*-Split conference with 1A schools — 1-seeds must have an overall win percentage of .500 or better OR finish in the top three in the conference standings to be seeded with the 1-seeds, or else be seeded with the 2s and wild-cards.
**-Split conference with 3A schools — 1-seeds must have an overall win percentage of .500 or better OR finish in the top three in the conference standings to be seeded with the 1-seeds, or else be seeded with the 2s and wild-cards.
Last five in, first five out
- Note: We will start to implement the “no leapfrogging” stipulation two weeks before official brackets come out. This rule prevents a team from making the playoffs over a team that it finished behind in the final conference standings. Once this process is implemented, there could be changes towards the bottom of the field.
