NCHSAA
The NCHSAA Board of Directors and Commissioner Que Tucker have made the difficult decision to move playoff dates following historic flooding in eastern North Carolina.
“The logistics of moving the fall championships dates, especially this close to the events are complex; however, we must do everything in our power to do what is best for our student-athletes in the state,” Tucker said. “Keeping our young people safe as we try to minimize risk of injury must be paramount in our decisions.”
Among changes approved by the board, the weekly limitation in volleyball has been waived for teams in areas affected by Hurricane Matthew, however, the daily limitation has not been waived. Sunday practices and/or competition are still not permissible for any sport.
