4. Hayesville
5. Mount Airy
6. Atkins
7. Cherokee
8. Rosewood
9. Granville Central
10.Gates County
The West is clearly better in 1A girls Basketball. Riverside is very good and if they play bishop again coule beat them but the rest of the East is weak. The best conference in Northwest 1A. Just my opinion

It's almost a contractual obligation to place final poll votes based off the regional results. The top 8 spots are taken by the 4 western regional finalist teams and 4 eastern regional finalist teams. Take Wallace Rose Hill on the Boys side - they beat 3 weaker Eastern teams to make it to the final 8, get beat pretty handily by East Carteret (finishing with a final record of only 14-14!) and are the "8th" best team in the state. A team like East Surry finishes 23-7 in the 2014 season with 4 of their 7 losses coming at the hands of state champs WS Prep and they "aren't" one of the best 10 teams in the state. On the flip side, the same East Surry team was a #14 seed in 2013, getting sent to the far western pod (which was much easier than the midwestern pod) and made it to the Western Finals only to lose to eventual champs WS Prep. That team finished 19-11, but was the 4th or 5th "best" team in the state in 2013. It is what it is. What's indisputable is that in 2014 WS Prep and East Carteret were the 2 best teams in the state and gave everyone a very enjoyable, competitive championship game.

Very well said. East Surry was better than everyone WSP played in the playoffs except East Carteret and maybe Albemarle. And there is no doubt that the state championship game was one for the ages.

NC Watchdog Granville Central lost in the second round by 15+. Yet they are still rank sixth that log so your logic is flaw just like the people voting.. Where are all the voters from? It appears to me they have a eastern basis
