The 2020 NCISAA 4A State Playoffs bracket has been released. Here's an early look at the top seeds and an early sleeper to keep an eye on.
<h4>Top 4 Seeds (All four receive double-byes)</h4>
<h5>1. Durham Academy (27-4)</h5>
The Durham Academy Cavaliers finished the season unbeaten in TISAC play at 8-0 and finished the season strong despite the loss of <strong>M.J. Rice</strong>. They'll look to win a state crown led by 2021 guards <strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/cole-sinclair/">Cole Sinclair</a>, Brent Randleman</strong> and 2022 guard <strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/nik-graves/">Nik Graves</a></strong>.
<h5>2. Greensboro Day School (30-4)</h5>
The Greensboro Day Bengals return to this year's field as a No. 2 seed looking to defend their three-straight NCISAA State titles. They'll be a tough out with 2020 guard <strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/cam-hayes/">Cam Hayes</a> </strong>(NC State), 2021s <strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/brock-williams/">Brock Williams</a> </strong>and <strong>Bryce Harris </strong>leading the way.
<h5>3. Cannon School (23-6)</h5>
The Cannon School Cougars haven't let youth slow them down this season with sophomores <strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jaden-bradley/">Jaden Bradley</a> </strong>and wing <strong>D.J. Nix </strong>doing most of the damage. They should be fun to watch in this year's field with their talented rotation.
<h5>4. Charlotte Latin School (20-7)</h5>
The Charlotte Latin Hawks have quietly climbed up the radar in the NCISAA 4A ranks led by <strong>Randy Johnson </strong>(Holy Cross). They've got a lot of depth and play well together as a team, which should make them tough to beat.
<h5>Sleeper Team: Wesleyan Christian (15-10)</h5>
Don't let the 10 losses on Wesleyan Christian Academy's record fool you. They're a talented group with <strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/isaiah-ray/">Isaiah Ray</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/kaleb-brooks/">Kaleb Brooks</a></strong>, <strong>Aisaiah Phillips</strong> and <strong>Kade Darr</strong> have been firing on all cylinders of late. They're a group that could make a run in the 4A state playoffs.
