February 22, 2026 - WINTER SPORTS
An inch of sleet followed by days of frigid temperatures followed by almost state-wide snowfall with amounts up to 15 inches can
be disruptive in North Carolina.
Since high school sports resumed state-wide on February 9th the pace of NCHSAA post-season play has been remarkable. Ten of the
available 12 days between the 9th and 21st involved state playoff activity which likely stretched some organizations very thin.
