All game times are 7 p.m., unless the school is hosting a doubleheader. Then the girls game will start at 6:30 p.m. and the boys game will start at 8 p.m.

Wakefield, Cary, Southern Durham, Riverside, Holly Springs, Bunn, Franklin Academy, Princeton, Granville Central and Chatham Central will all hit the road.

The change in the boys and girls basketball playoffs was a topic of discussion well before they were released on Saturday. So what do you think of them now that they're out?

I did some research, and here's a look at some of the perceived problems heading in (conference re-matches, quick turnaround) and some of the problems/concerns that popped up and affected Green Hope, Panther Creek and Charlotte's Berry Academy.

I won't list my solutions to any of these problems (spoiler alert: one of these items turned out to not be a problem), choosing instead to throw out multiple scenarios that could address needs while also looking at what the future holds.

It's a lot of words, so I underlined some key facts.

The following is a list of area high school wrestlers who have qualified for this weekend's N.C. High School Athletic Association individual championships.

The N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association basketball playoffs are set to start, and conclude, this week.

Aside from the opening rounds, which will be played Tuesday at higher seeds, Raleigh is the host of this year's tournaments.

Last night, Panther Creek filed an appeal with the N.C. High School Athletic Association over the exclusion of its boys basketball team from the state playoffs.

This morning, NCHSAA commissioner Davis Whitfield responded saying there would be no change that would admit Panther Creek to the boys basketball playoffs. And later today, Panther Creek athletics director Todd Schuler said the school will accept the NCHSAA ruling.

In Whitfield's response to Panther Creek's appeal, he says that the Board of Directors did not change the qualification process in December. For the 4A bracket, that meant still having one wildcard from the east and one from the west.

Panther Creek’s boys basketball team was shut out of this week’s state playoffs as brackets were posted Saturday afternoon, but citing vague written policies by the N.C. High School Athletic Association on its new postseason format, Panther Creek athletic director Todd Schuler filed an official appeal with the NCHSAA.

The N.C. High School Athletic Association released its boys brackets today -- but not without some changes.

The NCHSAA announced its girls playoff brackets today. The playoffs begin Monday with the second round on Wednesday and third round on Friday.

Millbrook was the No. 1 seed in the 4A East, while Southeast Raleigh was second in the same pod. Green Hope was No. 2 in the 4A Mideast.

Chapel Hill is a No. 1 in the 3A Mideast. Chatham County rivals Jordan-Matthews and Northwood are the Nos. 1 and 2 seeds, respectively, in the 2A Mideast.

The regional schedule for next week's games in Fayetteville has not been announced.

The full girls brackets are attached below.

The NCHSAA basketball playoffs start Monday.

The brackets come out on Saturday.

We're posting some projections for you right now, for the 4A boys and girls.
