Greenbrier West (9-1) finished rated No. 6 and will host No. 11 Meadow Bridge (7-3) in the first round. The schools are separated by just 16 miles on Route 20.
Also, No. 9 Valley (8-2) will visit No. 8 Clay-Battelle (9-1).
In Class AAA, Woodrow Wilson (6-4) qualified for the postseason for the second straight year at No. 15. And, for the second consecutive season, the Flying Eagles will have to travel to Martinsburg (9-1). The two-time defending state champion Bulldogs are No. 2.

The Devils will go to No. 1 Cabell Midland (10-0).
In Class AA, Nicholas County (6-3) wound up ninth and will visit No. 8 Ritchie County. The Grizzlies were unable to play their season finale against Richwood because of the effects of the severe weather that hit the area early last week.
