The Wildcats went 80 yards on the game's opening drive for a 6-0 lead but all four of Eastern Randolph's other first half possessions ended in turnovers which led to a 13-6 Corvian lead at halftime.

No contests scheduled. The NCHSAA will be seeding teams for the mens soccer playoffs today.
In the 3A west region Asheboro (22-2) is the #1 rated team in the RPI standings and should receive the top seed in the bracket. That guarantees home field advantage for the Blue Comets for as long as they continue winning up to the regional finals (round 5). Other Mid-Piedmont Conference teams expected to qualify are Ledford (12-7-4) and Montgomery Central (9-9).
Southwestern Randolph (20-2) is rated #1 in the 2A west region which should bring the same home field advantage to the Cougars that is expected for Asheboro. Randleman (15-7-2) tied SWR in the Piedmont Athletic Conference as co-champions. With a lower RPI (#10), the Tigers are the second team in from the PAC followed closely by #13 Trinity. Providence Grove (11-12-1, RPI #30) also hopes to qualify for the first time since 2016 as the fourth PAC team in the tournament.
Along with the 2A teams, Eastern Randolph (7-15, RPI #31) should receive an invitation as the top 1A team in the conference standings and Uwharrie Charter Academy (7-10, RPI #24) should be in as well.
(The RPI ratings are from Wednesday night and could change before the teams are seeded.)
SportsTone will have a Facebook Live video once the playoff match-ups are made available.
