The procession will wind through Whiteville Primary School, Central Middle School, downtown Whiteville, Edgewood Elementary and finally Whiteville High School, giving residents multiple opportunities to line the streets.
Community members are being urged to gather along the downtown corridor to cheer the players as they make their way toward the next chapter of the season.
