Boys Class AA
Question: Who was the last public school team to win a District 3 title in this class?
Answer: Columbia, back in 1994 when they beat Reading Central Catholic, 54-53 in overtime. Since then, the Class AA title has gone to Trinity, York Catholic or RCC.
This year as the Harrisburg Patriot called them, Columbia is a mysterious top seed. Basically, they don't think the Tide is worthy of a top seed or playing for a district title next Friday next week at the Giant Center.
Although Columbia has adopted the "one game at a time" motto, they shouldn't have any trouble with their opening round game tomorrow at Hempfield against Hanover, who is 5-18.
In round two, Saturday at Middletown (hopefully the game will be moved), expect the Tide to face a familiar foe in Pequea Valley. The Braves meet Tri-Valley League finalist Upper Dauphin in the opener. Columbia has beaten the Braves twice this year, both times rather easily. They say its always tough to beat a team three times, so we will see.
That, again, we as writers and fans, can look ahead, would mean a trip to the Giant Center next Wednesday for the semi-finals. By the way, there are four games set for the Giant Center that day. No times have been set. In the semi-finals, the Tide will meet either Trinity or York Catholic and their scoring machine, Jacob Iati. YC already has a win over the Shamrocks. They would meet in round two on Saturday, if they both survive opening round games against Annville-Cleona and Kutztown.
You know what would be really nice, if the Tide plays at the Giant Center next Wednesday, is to have a Tide tailgate at the Parkside before the game. Best cheeseburgers in the world. But, Columbia has to get their first.
In the bottom part of the bracket resides Delone Catholic, the number two seed. After opening against Tulpehocken (remember how bad Columbia beat them at Christmas), they will meet Wyomissing, a Berks County team that isn't bad. They might not have the inside play to keep up with Delone, but they got the rest of the package. The DC-Tulpy game might be a measuring stick.
Also in the bottom bracket is an athletic Milton Hershey team and Schuylkill Valley.
The seeds are: Columbia (1), Delone (2), Milton Hershey (3) and York Catholic (4).
The finals are Friday, Feb. 22 at 6:45, back at the Giant Center.
By the way, winners of Saturday's games are guaranteed a spot in the state playoffs.
