From staff reports

All four Rowan teams in the South Piedmont Conference appear to be headed to the 3A state playoffs.

That includes West Rowan. The Falcons are only 7-9 overall after sweeping at Concord on Wednesday, but their early non-conference schedule was stout and their strength of schedule is helped by playing lots of games against the four winning teams above them in the SPC standings, including unbeaten Lake Norman Charter. West is 24th in the 3A West MaxPreps rankings, and 32 teams will be make the 3A West bracket.

The strongest Rowan team is Carson. The Cougars are 16-5 overall, have won all of their county games and are 11-1 in the SPC. They are ranked eighth in 3A West. Carson breezed to another sweep on Wednesday at Robinson.

South Rowan (14-4, 10-3) is third in the SPC standings, while East Rowan (16-7, 8-4) is fourth, but East’s non-conference schedule has been a little stronger. MaxPreps has the Mustangs 13th in the 3A West rankings, with South 14th.
