For all the historians, what's the lowest seed to ever make it to a state championship, regional, etc.
North Edgecombe was the 16 seed in 1998. They beat the #1 Seed Camden County in the East (6-0) took over home field advantage. NE got healthy towards the end of the season, had to win the last 2 regular season games to get into playoffs. They went to lose to Starmount 22-20 in the State Championship game that year.

North Edgecombe. 16th and final seed, defeated #1 on the road. Back then, if a 16 beat a 1, the 16 stole home field advantage the rest of the way. So the 16th seeded NE had all these better seeded teams come to them, and defeated each one all the way to the 1A championship, where they eventually lost.
