A couple interesting tidbits about the remaining teams in the District One Class AAAA bracket...

No. 1: The final eight are the top eight seeds overall.

• 1 CHESTER vs. 8 Norristown
• 2 Conestoga vs. 7 Plymouth-Whitemarsh
• 3 PENN WOOD vs. 6 Lower Merion
• 4 Pennsbury vs. 5 Central Bucks South

No. 2: Three of these games are rematches.
Chester knocked off Norristown, 58-47, Dec. 26 at the Jameer Nelson Classic. Penn Wood dropped one, 47-44, to Lower Merion Jan. 24 at the Kobe Bryant Classic. And Conestoga took down P-W, 50-43, Dec. 6.

No. 3: The Chester-Norristown game is a look into the future at Temple University.
Clippers forward Rahlir Jefferson (pictured) and Eagles combo Khalif Wyatt are headed to North Broad Street next fall. Said Jefferson last week of the potential playoff meeting: "I didn't look (at the bracket). Khalif called me and said, 'We both win two and we'll see each other."

As for that elusive ninth seed, here's how it'll be determined: The bracket reverses itself and plays the opposite way. There is no re-seeding. First-round games in the eight-team, single-elimination playback are as follows:

• No. 17 Souderton at No. 9 W.C. Rustin
• No. 13 O.J. Roberts at No. 12 GLEN MILLS
• No. 23 Neshaminy at 18 W.C. Henderson
• No. 14 Bensalem at No. 11 C.B. West
