Pairings for High School Basketball Eastern Regionals in Greenville

The North Carolina High School Athletic Association’s regional
basketball tournaments will get underway on Tuesday, March 3 as the state’s prep teams
continue the road toward the state championships.

Sectional winners from the East will be going to Greenville for the 19th
straight year, for the Eastern Regionals. The men’s games will be played at
Minges Coliseum on the campus of East Carolina University,
while the women’s contests are set for J.H. Rose High School. In the west,
teams will be going to Greensboro for the first time, with games at the
Greensboro Coliseum Special Events Center and Fleming Gymnasium at the
University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

With a forecast for inclement weather possible in the next couple of days,
there is a possibility that playing dates might have to be adjusted, but
those would be announced later if necessary.

The winners from the regional tournament games will advance to the state
championship contests. The 95th men’s championships and the 38th renewal of
the women’s finals will be held at the Dean E. Smith Center on the
University of North Carolina campus and Reynolds Coliseum at North Carolina
