Class AA girls
It's been a busy few days, so I really haven't had a lot of time to write on this blog.
Today's weather has given me time to get some things done, such as playoff previews.
The Tide girls' game with Wyomissing, as previously noted has been postponed until tomorrow night, hopefully at the same place.
Wyomissing comes into the game with an 11-11 record and the seventh seed in the Class AA field. They are trying to avoid their first losing since since 1996. The Columbia girls are looking to advance to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 1999.
Columbia might only have six wins in 23 games, but they have lost to some of the top teams in District 3 -- like L-S, the number one seed in AAA; Lancaster Mennonite, the number four seed in AAA, along with Eastern (13th), Manheim Central (11th) and Lancaster Catholic (14th).
In the Class AA field, there are two obvious favorites -- Trinity, the top seed and York Catholic, the two-time state champs, whose only loss is to Trinity im the last two or three years.
The bad thing is that if the Tide girls lose, they draw York Catholic in round two on Friday night. That could be a good thing for the Tide girls as they will get to see what it will take to get back to the elite status the program once enjoyed in District 3.
By the way, 10 of the 16 teams in the Class AA field have .500 or losing records.
Barring any major upsets, which are unlikely, Trinity and York Catholci shouldmeet in the finals next Thursday. Yes, it will be different not seeing Harry DeFrank coaching the Shamrocks.
Schuylkill Valley, who is the third seed and has a Division I recruit, might be the only team to spoil the rematch. I doubt it.
