With the N.C. High School Athletic Association’s girls basketball season approaching, the HighSchoolOT Watch List previews some of the top players to look forward to seeing on the court this year.

The Watch List is divided into the state’s six area codes: 252, 336, 704, 828, 910, 919. Each area code has 25 spots that are filled regardless of eligible association or classification therein.

Being on the Watch List does not guarantee a spot on the HighSchoolOT All-State team, which will be announced at the conclusion of the NCHSAA season and feature players from all eligible associations. The All-State team will feature 15 spots in each of the first, second, and third teams. There will also be 15 honorable mentions.
