Here are pairings for CMS, Charlotte-area high school basketball conference tournaments
The increasing threat of wintry weather Wednesday in the Charlotte area is causing a number of changes to the schedules of this week’s high school basketball tournaments.
A number of tournaments have moved their Wednesday and Thursday semifinal games to Tuesday — in some cases, using two sites.
That is the plan for the Queen City 3A-4A tournament, but Mecklenburg County’s two other 4A events — the SoMeck and Southwestern — are planning their semifinals for Thursday and finals on Friday.
Here are pairings for Charlotte-area high school basketball conference tournaments, plus updated NCISAA state tournament scores and schedules.
Check back often.
