NCHSAA Basketball State Championships

North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association postseason, with all four boys titles staged at Providence Day in 2025 and the girls split between Providence Day and Charlotte Latin. Caldwell Academy took 2A boys and Rocky Mount Academy 2A girls — a typical NCISAA bracket where small private programs decide titles.

Morganton, North Carolina — 51st annual in 2025, hosted in Freedom High's Crump-Rogers Gym. Eight-team boys bracket, four-team girls round-robin (champion only crowned at 3-0). Field draws western NC programs (Asheville Christian, McDowell, West Caldwell) plus a Charlotte-area visitor or two.

Winston-Salem, North Carolina — 46th of the modern era, 71st overall, named for the late Winston-Salem Journal sports editor Frank Spencer. Twelve WS/Forsyth County programs plus four Northwest NC visitors split into the Atrium Health and Pepsi brackets across multiple host schools. West Forsyth took the 2025 Atrium Health bracket at Reagan.

Alaska Airlines Center on the UAA campus. Two weekends — 1A/2A first (March 11-14), then 3A/4A (March 18-21). NFHS Network livestreams every game. Branded as ASAA March Madness, hosted by ASAA and Anchorage School District.

Hot Springs. Arkansas Activities Association state finals, classes 1A through 6A boys and girls, all played at Bank OZK Arena over three days in mid-March. Free live streaming through Arkansas TV makes this one of the easiest state finals in the region to follow.

Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, two-day final weekend. The Open Division boys final is the most loaded state title game in the country most years — you have to win your CIF section first, and the Open bracket pulls eight teams from those section champs. Eastvale Roosevelt won the 2025 Open over Archbishop Riordan; Brayden Burries dropped 44 in the final.

Denver. Colorado state finals for both boys and girls, classes 1A through 6A. Great 8 round opens the week, all six championship games run on the final Saturday at Denver Coliseum. Every game streams on NFHS Network.

CIAC moved finals to Mohegan Sun Arena and runs both boys and girls D-I through D-IV champion games over a single weekend. Public + private all together (CT doesn't separate them). Ellington won D-IV 2025 — their first state title in 53 years. Greenwich girls took D-I.

The Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association crowns boys, girls, and unified basketball champions each March. The 2025 boys final saw No. 6 Sanford School upset No. 1 Dover 37-34 — typical of a small-state bracket where seeding doesn't carry as much weight as program continuity.
