The pairings are set
The pairings have finally been set and 16 schools across the state are headed to State College this weekend for the state finals.
Looks like there will be three interesting boys' games -- AAAA, AAA and AA.
In the 4-A game, District 1 rivals Chester and Norristown, who came through the west, meet.
Chester, basketball-wise is a lot like Columbia in terms of fan support, and should be a big draw in Happy Valley.
In the 3-A game, its Mid-Penn rivals Steel High and Susquehanna Township. They split their first two games. By the way, what a year the Rollers are having in athletics -- state champs in football, now playing for a state title hoops. Steel High, again a lot like Columbia, small town that loves their sports.
The 2-A game might be the marquee match-up of the weekend between Strawberry Mansion and Jeanette. Can't wait for that one. Bet, we'll see Joe Pa or someone connected with the football program at that one. Read on TedSilary.com, there were a few college scouts at last night's Strawberry Mansion game with Imhotep. Silary said the crowd at South Philly High School wasn't much and he didn't care for the fact that three District One officials called the game, not Public League officials.
The actio starts tomorrow at noon at the Bryce Jordan Center with the Girls 2-A game as York Catholic looks for its third straight state title.
The games will be on PCN. Look for an update on Monday, or over the weekend, if I can find a place with wireless internet access and a computer.
Here is the weekend schedule:
Friday, Noon, Girls AA -- York Catholic (31-1) vs. Northern Cambria (29-1)
2 p.m., Boys A -- Freire Charter (16-6) vs. Serra Catholic (29-2)
