In a day off Monday, I got some time for a better look at the District One Class AAAA bracket. Just a few observations:

AT THE TOP: If the results of the Central League tournament had been factored in, the top six seeds might have been different. Lower Merion would be at least two spots higher than the No. 6 seed, and second-seeded Conestoga would have slipped some.

AT THE BOTTOM: Chichester needed to win two of its final three games. Had they not, the Eagles (11-11) would have been left out of the bracket for sure. Two other .500 teams (Council Rock South and North Penn) made the cut, but one (Wissahickon) did not. No teams with losing records made it in.

LEAGUE LOVE: The Suburban One League got the most love in this year’s bracket, sending 14 teams in the playoffs among its three divisions. Here’s a breakdown:
SOL Continental (6): C.B. South, C.B. West, C.B. East, Souderton, Quakertown, North Penn.
Ches-Mont League (6): W.C. Rustin, Downingtown West, Coatesville, W.C. Henderson, Great Valley, Avon Grove.
SOL National (5): Pennsbury, Bensalem, C.R. North, C.R. South, Neshaminy.
Del Val League (4): Chester, Penn Wood, Glen Mills, Chichester.
Central League (4): Conestoga, Lower Merion, Penncrest, Radnor.
SOL American (3): Norristown, Plymouth-Whitemarsh, Cheltenham.
Pioneer Athletic Conference (3): Owen J Roberts, Spring-Ford, Methacton.

I heard from a dozen readers in response to District One’s 2000-point scorers. It turns out there are 13 of them, not eight (as one Daily Times blogger recently published – oops). Here’s the full list:

• Kobe Bryant (Lower Merion, 1996) 2,883
• Matt Carroll (Hatboro Horsham, 1999) 2,667
• Dan Hargrove (Faith Christian, 2001) 2,378
• John Allen (Coatesville, 2001) 2,372
• Tyrone Lewis (Truman, 2006) 2,211
• Tom Hauer (Sun Valley, 1995) 2,209
• Chad Hopenwasser (New Hope, 1995) 2,172
• Dan Geriot (Springfield, 2006) 2,157
• Lamont Ferrell (Penn Wood, 1984) 2,114
• Martin Salley (Neshaminy/Truman, 1984) 2,090
• Wayne Keys (Bristol, 1986) 2,061
• Mike Vreeswyk (Morrisville, 1985) 2,019
• Dalton Pepper (Pennsbury) TBD

Even the astute minds of the Daily Times do not hold the answers to every question. The one currently driving us batty pertains to District One's 2,000-point scorers.

When (not if) Pennsbury's Dalton Pepper (pictured) scores four points tonight at Neshaminy, he will become the eighth player in District One to eclipse the 2,000-point mark for his career. Former Daily Times basketball writer Terry Toohey and I came up with seven of them:

• Wayne Keys (Bristol)
• Kobe Bryant (Lower Merion)
• Tommy Hauer (Sun Valley)
• Dan Geriot (Springfield)
• Lamont Ferrell (Yeadon/Penn Wood)
• Tyrone Lewis (Harry S Truman)
• Pepper (Pennsbury)

Who is the eighth? I'm thinking it's Hatboro-Horsham's Matt Carroll, but I'm not 100-percent sure. But ... the first person to e-mail the answer and proof -- cvito@delcotimes.com -- or post it here on the blog gets a prize*. (NOTE: By "prize", I mean I'm thinking a guest entry on Gettin' Schooled during playoff time. Sound fair?)

DEL VAL CO-CHAMPS: With Penn Wood's win over Interboro Thursday and Chester's victory over Academy Park, the Patriots and the Clippers finished in a dead heat atop the Del Val League standings. Both teams have 9-1 records, with their only losses coming against one another.

It's the first time in 11 seasons that a team other than Chester has earned a share of the Del Val championship. It's safe to say Chester would have liked to have kept its streak an undisputed league-title run. But something tells me those two will settle things in the District One or PIAA playoffs.
