Per NCHSAA handbook, playoff games are to start at 7pm, so I would think 7pm is correct.
Section 4.5.5 (b) "Game time is set for 7:00 p.m."
East Wilkes @ Mitchell
- Thread starter EWCards#1
- Start date
Section 4.5.5 (b) "Game time is set for 7:00 p.m."
Yes, in the handbook for 21-22 and 22-23, it said game time was 7:30 pm.
Probably due to travel times in the playoffs. Start earlier, end earlier, get home earlier.
MA playing at 7:30 They can play anytime as long as its approved by NCHSAA
Maxpreps has done that a lot of times with many different sports! You cant rely on maxpreps for game times!
Playoff games are under the auspices of the NCHSAA, so game times must be reasonable (customarily late afternoon, early evening or night), and are set specifically in football (7:30 p.m.), lacrosse (7 p.m.), baseball (7 p.m.), soccer (7 p.m.), and softball (7 p.m.). Teams may play at 6 p.m. in baseball, soccer, lacrosse and softball playoffs if mutually agreed upon. Any deviation from this must be approved by the NCHSAA. Recommended starting time in regular season is no earlier than 5:00 pm for baseball, lacrosse, softball, volleyball and soccer. Schools may play earlier than the playoff date designated on the bracket by mutual agreement, and Saturday playoff games may be played earlier than those times listed here by mutual agreement.
Buzz, where did you see that? In the new handbook for 2023-2024, it reads that playoff games are to be played at 7pm. Here is the link. Go to page 85.

Easy now. No need to dirty up all Dallas fans
We didn’t do it last year game times always 730 here
New rule for this year. Guess as long as both teams agree on the 7:30 time, no big deal. No idea why they changed it.
Wonder if it has anything to do with the time change. It will start getting dark at 5:45 after this week. In TN they make their playoff games go 7pm. Wonder if other states do the same.
lol time change has been around for the HS playoffs forever it not new!
Lol people make different decisions as time goes on too.
You one ask if had something to do with time change and my response was why make a change with game time now bc of the time changing bc its been around forever!
When you look at the NCHSAA brackets, the 1st round over half the games on the East part start at 7;00 and a few in the West start at 7 p.m. But it lists all games starting at 7:00, East & West in the 2nd round until the state championship game. Time changes the Sunday after the first round. 1st round games are 7:30 for some and 7:00 for others but 2rd the round on all games starts at 7:00.

I’m good for anytime because I will be watching on Graham county sports.com 😂 in my easy chair
I may skip first round completely and go watch App St-NC State wrestling duel on Friday at 7. First round is alway a bit of bore with the mismatches.
I got to go with Mitchell !! Good mountain folk and adopted SMC MEMBERS 😂
East Wilkes are good country people also. Been there a couple of times when my daughter played basketball back in 2016 in playoffs 2 years in a row. Very welcoming people at the game and a lot of beautiful rolling pasture land and farms on the way to Rondo. Best of luck to both teams and hoping for a clean game with no injuries to these young men
