Notes
New Bern won the 4A state championship on the field with a 40-28 victory over Grimsley, but the win was later vacated due to the discovery of academically ineligible players on the roster. The decision to vacate the championship didn't come until October 2023 after a lengthy investigation by Craven County Schools. According to NCHSAA rules, vacated championships do not go to the runner-up, so there is no state champion at the 4A level from 2022.
