District 3 brackets released

Before the big game tonight, I wanted to post the District Three Class AAAA (yes, the Bears are Quad A) bracket for you to check out. Here goes:

E-town drew the No. 13 seed in the district and will play Gettysburg in the Preliminaries. The Bears will host that game on Feb. 8 or 9 at 7 p.m. The winner of that game gets No. 4 Cedar Crest on Feb. 13 at Central Dauphin at 7:30. In the prelims, the higher seed hosts the game. In the remaining rounds, games will be played at neutral sites.

Here's the rest of the bracket:

Preliminary Round (Feb. 8 or 9)
17. Exeter @ 16. Carlisle
20. Gettysburg @ 13. E-town
21. Waynesboro @ 12. Mechanicsburg

Plenty more on the district games in the coming days. But for now, the Bears are focused solely on Columbia, which is a daunting task in itself. Preview coming Monday.

Enjoy the Super Bowl.
