Wow 3A loses Bedford, PC and Westmont and only gains Bellefonte.

But state title now clearly goes thru Southern Columbia.

This is why they need to go back to 4 classes. If anything they have to join d5 and d6 for AAA.

Joining doesn’t do much with just adding Somerset.

Yea atleast you have 4 instead of 3.

I would guess that it would continue to be D6 and the D5 and D9 together with the winners playing in the state first round. D6 would have 3 teams and D9/D5 would have 4.

Districts have to have 4 to run a tournament.

I love 6 classes.

Why couldn't the PIAA do the United/Blacklick Valley math of 98 plus half of 65? They have the co-op listed beside United's but only the 98 for a total.

District 5 2A will be a nice battle, with Bedford, Berlin, and Chestnut Ridge. Small, but good quality.

D5 and D6 A and AA are both going to be pretty dang good.
