Class AAA playoff pairings

Here are your official Class AAA playoff pairings. Sorry I didn't get this up sooner – our Internet has been acting up. I know, I know, likely excuse...but it's true.

The Bears finish at 9-1 and dropped from the top seed in the district to the No. 2 seed, which means they should get more than one home playoff game. Northern York moves up to grab the top seed after going 10-0. Red Land, Gettysburg and West York round out the top five, all finishing at 9-1. I'm still looking inot Shippensburg, and will post more on them when I get it.

All of these games are Friday night at 7 p.m.
16 Hamburg (7-1) at 1 Northern York (10-0)
15 Shippensburg at 2 E-town (9-1)
14 Manheim Central (6-4) at 3 Red Land (9-1)
13 Northern Lebanon (7-3) at 4. Gettysburg (9-1)
12. Solanco (7-3) at 5. West York (9-1)
11. Cocalico (7-3) at 6. Hershey (8-2)
10. Conrad Weiser (7-3) at 7. Lampeter-Strasburg (8-2)
9. Daniel Boone (7-3) at 8. Greencastle-Antrim (8-2).

My picks for round one: Northern over Hamburg; E-town over Ship; Red Land over Central; Gettysburg over Northern Lebanon; West York over Solanco; Cocalico over Hershey; L-S over Conrad Weiser; Daniel Boone over Greencastle.

I know the Bears are dealing with a few injuries after Friday night's game. I saw Jordan Hallman limping noticeably after the game and will post more on any injuries when it becomes available to me.

For those of you wondering about other local teams not in Class AAA, here is how their playoffs will look Friday night.
Class AAAA.
