Wilmington-area high school sports playoff brackets, scores for 2024 fall postseason
The 2024 Wilmington-area high school sports postseason is upon us.
With volleyball, girls tennis and track and field slated to kick off this week, the playoff season is finally here.
The NCHSAA announced schedule changes to the 2024 fall postseason last month. Those changes have pushed the association’s high school football and boys soccer postseasons back one week, but most other sports will get underway without delay.
Here, you will be able to find updated brackets, scores and more from every Wilmington-area playoff sport this fall. In just a couple of weeks, boys soccer and football will also begin the postseason. Follow along for the latest from area schools below.
