As expected, Tulpehocken and Hamburg made it through to the second round, really the first round, of the District playoffs. This system is a lot like the Stanley Cup playoffs. Everyone seems to make it to the postseason. A total 31 teams have extended season in Class AA.

Some of those District dreams ended Thursday, though. As I said, Tulpehocken had no trouble whatsoever with Lancaster Christian, winning 12-0. Hamburg shut out Biglerville, 4-0.

This will set up Saturday matches in the Round of 16:

Tulpehocken will play Central Catholic, which beat Shippensburg, 3-1, to advance. Hamburg will face a much tougher test, playing Wyomissing, a 5-0 winner over Camp Hill Thursday. If both local schools win those matches, they'd face each other in the next round (quarterfinals).
