Queens Grant, the reigning state champion, starts No. 1 in The Observer's Sweet 16

Queen’s Grant ended the 2025-26 high school basketball season atop The Charlotte Observer’s Sweet 16 poll. Today, the Stallions start the 2026-27 in the same place: No. 1 in the region’s oldest high school basketball poll. The Observer began The Sweet 16 in 1984 and offers a large banner to the winner to hang in its gym. The ranking includes teams from Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln and Union counties. Queen’s Grant, because it doesn’t have football, is allowed to start its season early. The Stallions have gotten off to a 1-2 start, after a pair of losses to N.C. private school power Forsyth Country Day, the reigning NCISAA 4A state champion and Sweet 16 preseason No. 3 Concord Academy at the Carmel Christian Tip-Off over the weekend. The Sweet 16 rankings, compiled by longtime NC basketball expert Rick Lewis, were compiled before those games were played. Preseason Sweet 16 poll Rk, School 1. Queen’s Grant 2.

Why NC public schools close on Veterans Day while some neighbors stay open

Veterans Day is a required school holiday for North Carolina’s 1.5 million public school students, but students in some neighboring states will have a regular school day Wednesday. A longstanding state law makes North Carolina’s approach different from Virginia and South Carolina. FULL STORY: Why public schools are closed on Veterans Day in NC, but not in some states Here are key takeaways: State law requires it. Veterans Day is the only holiday under North Carolina statute that requires public schools to close. Classes can be held on other holidays like Presidents’ Day and Memorial Day, though many districts schedule teacher workdays then. The law only applies to traditional-calendar schools, but charter schools usually also close on Veterans Day. No school on Sundays. State law also bars public schools from holding classes on Sundays. Neighboring states differ. Virginia and South Carolina allow classes on Veterans Day. South Carolina law requires at least one hour of instruction honoring veterans, with schools that close observing the holiday the next day. Observances still happen. North Carolina schools typically hold events honoring veterans around the holiday, and state law designates November as Veterans’ History Awareness Month. A large veteran population.
