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.

What to watch at UNC and NC State boards of trustees meetings this week

Hello reader! Welcome to Higher Stakes , your source for North Carolina’s higher education news. I’m reporter Jane Winik Sartwell . It’s going to be a big week. Both the UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State trustees are meeting. The fallout from the disturbing Sigma Nu hazing investigation continues to unfold. St. Augustine’s , the historically Black university in Raleigh, faces a deadline to explain how it plans to exit bankruptcy. I’ll be focused all week on bringing you the latest on these stories. Stay tuned. For now, here’s a preview of what to expect at those trustees meetings. What to expect from UNC’s trustees Protocol for campus-wide centers and institutes could be changing. A proposed policy could expand the provost’s control over the launch of new centers, who sits on committees that handle their periodical reviews, and their discontinuation or reclassification. Earlier this year, the abrupt closure and consolidation of six centers focused on international studies brought this issue to the fore. Academic program review could now consider cost. A presentation on the Academic Program Review Refresh Project says that the initiative allows the university to tell whether “cost of instruction is aligned with student demand.” Trustee Marty Kotis previously

Will the midterms' blue wave change UNC's shade? University leaders weigh in

“Buckle up, everybody.” That was the warning from former UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Holden Thorp to his “UNC peeps” in the wake of a stunning midterm election that dramatically shifted the balance of power in North Carolina state politics towards Democrats. Since the state legislature appoints the UNC System Board of Governors and many of the members of individual campus boards of trustees, that shift could trickle down and inform who controls public higher education. As it stands, Republicans dominate the UNC System Board of Governors and the UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees. That’s shown itself in myriad ways: the rejection of diversity, equity and inclusion measures, the embrace of a controversial civic life center, the energetic budget-cutting, the deals with the Trump administration, the continued questioning of tenure, and more. But conservative influence on higher education policy could become less potent in the coming years. Thorp worries that the political diversity will make it harder to get things done at UNC. According to Thorp’s analysis, “the Board of Governors (that is responsible for the UNC System) will get 6 seats out of 24 in July 2027 from the NC House, presumably Democrats. That will make it 18R-6D,” he wrote. “At
