Tomorrow, North Rowan’s girls and Salisbury’s girls get things started with 7 p.m. first-round road games in the 2A Central Carolina Conference tourney.

Also tomorrow night, Davie County’s boys will play a 7:30 first-round game against South Iredell in the 4A Central Piedmont Conference tourney at West Forsyth.

Fans will have to wait a bit to see the unbeaten West Rowan boys, who open play in the 3A North Piedmont Conference tourney on Wednesday night at 8 p.m. The Falcons have a first-round bye. They’ll play at Statesville High against the winner of the Statesville-Northwest Cabarrus first-round game.

That three-way second-place logjam in the NPC between East Rowan, West and Statesville has been sorted out.

All three split with top seed North Iredell, the only team which has clinched a playoff spot. East has been ruled the No. 2 seed, because it swept Statesville and split with West for a 3-1 record against the other two teams in the deadlock. Statesville is seeded No. 3 thanks to its sweep of West. West is No. 4, but it’s important to remember that its fourth seed is strictly for tournament purposes. Technically, the Falcons may be fourth, but in reality they enter the tournament on equal footing with East and Statesville.

It’s complicated, but there are several scenarios by which the Falcons could still make the state playoffs even if they don’t win the NPC tourney. It’s certain that if Statesville, East or West make it to the tourney finals, they’re going to be in the state playoffs.

Statesville and East face a likely second-round collision.

The NPC opens with a pair of Tuesday tripleheaders on the homecourts of the No. 2 seeds.

That means the girls play at East. At 5, West plays fifth-seeded A.L. Brown. At 6:30, Statesville plays sixth-seeded Northwest Cabarrus, and at 8, East plays seventh-seeded Mooresville.

There will be one 6:30 girls semifinal played at Statesville High on Wednesday (North Iredell vs. the West-Wonders winner), the other (likely involving East) on Thursday.

The boys play their first-round games at Mooresville.

At 5, fourth-seeded Statesville takes on fifth-seeded Northwest. At 6:30, third-seeded Kannapolis takes on sixth-seeded North Iredell. At 8, seventh-seeded East tackles second-seeded Mooresville.

West’s boys have already wrapped up a state playoff spot. East’s boys have to win the tournament to get in. A.L. Brown’s boys are in unless one of the 4-7 seeds wins the tourney.

The boys play 8 p.m. semifinals at Statesville on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Girls (6:30) and boys (8) finals are set for Statesville High on Friday.

Things are a little less difficult to follow in the CPC where the entire tournament will be played at West Forsyth.

Sixth-seeded South Iredell’s girls face third-seeded West Forsyth on Monday at 6 p.m., followed by the third-seeded Davie boys vs. sixth-seeded South Iredell at 7:30.

On Tuesday, fourth-seeded North Davidson’s girls face fifth-seeded Reynolds at 6 and South Rowan’s fourth-seeded boys take on fifth-seeded North Davidson at 7:30.

Semis are on Wednesday and Thursday with the top two seeds in boys and girls joining the action. Davie’s top-seeded girls face the Reynolds-North Davidson survivor on Wednesday at 6. South’s second-seeded girls will play on Thursday at 6 against the West Forsyth-South Iredell survivor.

South’s girls and Davie’s girls have wrapped up playoff spots.

South’s boys must win the tourney to get in the state playoffs, while Davie is in unless one of the bottom three seeds wins the tourney.

Things are still calm in the CCC as well.

Higher seeded teams host first-round games like always. Then the semis and finals will be played at Lexington. Girls semis are on Wednesdays. Boys semis are on Thursday.

In first-round girls games, sixth-seeded Salisbury visits third-seeded West Stokes; eighth-seeded North Rowan travels to Ledford; fourth-seeded East Davidson hosts fifth-seeded Central Davidson; and second-seeded Lexington hosts seventh-seeded West Iredell.

The Cavalier girls or Hornet girls would have to win the tournament to make the state playoffs.

The CCC boys get started Tuesday with fourth-seeded Salisbury hosting fifth-seeded Central Davidson; third-seeded North Rowan hosting sixth-seeded Ledford; second-seeded West Stokes hosting seventh-seeded East Davidson; and top-seeded Lexington hosting No. 8 West Iredell.

If Salisbury wins its first-round game, it would play (most likely) Lexington at 6 on Thursday in the semis. If North wins in the first round, it would play at 7:30 on Thursday against the West Stokes-East Davidson winner.

Finals are Friday at 7:30.

North has clinched a playoff spot. Salisbury could still be bumped if one of the teams seeded below the Hornets wins the tourney.
