— An 18-3 nonconference baseball loss for West Brunswick on Wednesday night at Carolina Forest will not impact the postseason for the Trojans in the NCHSAA 6-A playoffs because games against out-of-state teams do not count in the seeding process. West is 13-11 overall, assured of a winning season. The Trojans went 7-5 for third place in the Carolina Coast Conference against a schedule of 7-A and 8-A teams. Strength of schedule is not factored in seeding. Brackets will be released Monday with first-round games on Tuesday.
