The Pam Pack (14-0, 10-0) hosts the 14th seeded Jordan-Matthews Jets from Siler City, who went 8-4 overall and 5-2 in the 1A/2A Mid-Carolina Conference.
“We are glad that our seed is high enough to stay home in the tournament for the first few matches,” coach Miranda Whitley said. “We’ve had a successful season so far and will hopefully continue that in the tournament.”
