The Avery Lady Vikings found out their playoff fate on Saturday evening when the NCHSAA released the brackets for the 1A state women's basketball playoffs.Avery receives the Western Highlands Conference #1 1A seed and will host the Elkin Lady Buckin' Elks on Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. at Avery High School. Elkin enters the game as a Wild Card with a 6-16 overall record, while Avery enters Tuesday night off a heartbreaking 61-59 loss to Mitchell in the WHC Conference Tournament Championship game and is 17-10 overall.
An Avery victory would set up a potential second round home game in Newland on Thursday between the Lady Vikings and the winner of the contest between Highland Tech (5-20) and Rosman (20-6). A potential Rosman/Avery contest would set up the second contest of the season between the teams. Avery defeated Rosman 49-45 in a thrilling first round game at the BB&T Holiday Classic in Cherryville back in December.
