Rowan County vs Cherryville, photo by Wayne Hinshaw, for the Salisbury Post

 

State tournament

It’s Area III’s turn to host the state championship but none of the teams made an offer to do so. Cherryville put in a bid and was awarded the 2024 event. Because of that, Area 1V gets a third team in the tournament and the Area champion Post 87 Hi-Toms is the only representative from Area III.
