n Realignment: Part 2
The NCHSAA released its second plan for the realignment of schools and conferences that will take place for the 2013-14 school year.
Human beings got involved with this plan. The first draft was computer generated.
The new plan offers a much more sensible proposal for the four Rowan 3A schools ó West, East, South and Carson.
The revised plan calls for them to be placed in a nine-team league with the five Cabarrus schools that will be 3A in 2013 ó Central, Northwest, Cox Mill, Hickory Ridge and Concord.
Plan 2 calls for Salisbury and North Rowan to be in an eight-team 2A league with East Davidson, Lexington, Thomasville, Trinity, West Davidson and Wheatmore.
The plan for A.L. Brown is a 4A league that includes Hopewell, Hough, Mallard Creek, North Meck, Robinson and Vance.
The plan for Davie is a 4A league with Mount Tabor, North Davidson, Parkland, Reagan, R.J. Reynolds and West Forsyth.
n Hoops to be seeded
The biggest news out of the NCHSAAís winter board meeting was the approval of a plan to seed the basketball state playoffs.
Teams would be placed into sectionals based on geography with a pod system similar to the one used in football.
Members of the North Carolina Basketball Coaches Association will assist with the seeding.
n As far as the 2012 prep football season, as long as they play an 11-game schedule, schools will be allowed to drop any non-conference game from their record for playoff seeding purposes. Thatís a return to the rule that was in place through the 2010 season.
In 2011, teams dropped their endowment game for seeding purposes, a rule tweak which contributed to Carson being left out of the playoffs.
n The NCHSAA revealed that there were 317 total ejection for fall sports this year.

Jason Deutsch, Mark Almeida, Raykwon Torrence, Shiheem Saunders and Williams Jacobs recorded pints for East Rowan (6-0) in a 54-22 win against Providence Day.
