The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the NCHSAA met via conference call on Tuesday and approved changes that may help member schools with scheduling events during the current inclement weather.
The NCHSAA wrestling regionals are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, weather permitting. If there are postponements, all regionals must make every effort to avoid Sunday competition, especially if Saturday is available and safe for travel.
However, as a last resort, regional competition may be held Sunday afternoon, Feb. 16. Weigh-ins cannot occur any earlier than noon and wrestling cannot begin any earlier than 1 p.m. Additionally, the NCHSAA must approve all revised schedules.
There is no waiver of the 5-match per day limitation for an individual wrestler.
• Another change was made for next week in basketball.
Schools may play four games next week, with Friday being considered the “non-school” play date under the NCHSAA scheduling policies. Saturday is not an option, but this will perhaps allow for playing a make-up game or two, as well as the conference tournament, if the conference so chooses.
Seeding will be conducted on Saturday, Feb. 22, as originally scheduled. All qualifiers will be submitted by the conference president no later than 6 a.m. on Feb. 22.

Martha Earnhardt, mother of the late NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt, gave an exclusive interview to Steve Byrnes of NASCAR RACE HUB on FOX Sports 1 and talked about the return of the No. 3 to NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition.
Richard Childress Racing, which owned the No. 3 that Earnhardt drove at the time of his tragic incident at Daytona International Speedway in February of 2001, is once again utilizing the No. 3 for Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year candidate Austin Dillon in 2014.
“I have mixed feelings because I was told that I would never see a number three on the race track after Dale died,” Martha said. “I can understand it to a point. I know it was Richard’s number when he drove and this is his grandson, and I understand that. As long as they don’t make it look like the number three. If they painted it a different color … I can sort of deal with it, but I don’t want to see the black number three just like Dale’s. But that’s not my decision.”
