District 2 Boys Basketball Bracketology

Here we are, the last week of the regular season and the District playoffs are almost here. So here's a rundown of each classification.

4A

1 Hazleton Area 17-3 (Division Leader)

2 Abington Heights 18-2

3 Scranton 13-7

4 Williamsport 11-8

5 Delaware Valley 9-11

6 WVW 6-14

7 Wallenpaupack 3-17

Rundown: Hazleton Area can clinch the WVC Division 1 title with a win in one of their final two games. Abington Heights can possibly get back the division but need a Scranton Prep loss in order to force a one-game playoff or for Scranton Prep to lose their final two games and for Abington Heights to win their final two game to clinch the division outright. Delaware Valley is still in the race for the Lackawanna League Division 2 title, only trailing North Pocono by a game. Del

Val needs one win and a North Pocono loss in order to force a one game playoff for the title. So it could be possible that Abington Heights could be the three seed in the District 2 4A playoffs because division championships go ahead of record.

3A

1 Scranton Prep 10-1 (Division Leader)

2 GAR 10-1 (Division Leader)

3 North Pocono 7-4 (Division Leader)

4 Crestwood 10-2

5 Nanticoke 9-2

6 Berwick 7-5

7 West Scranton 6-4

8 Honesdale 5-6

9 Wyoming Area 5-6

12 Lake-Lehman 4-7

13 Valley View 2-9

14 Pittston Area 2-10

15 Tunkhannock 2-10

16 Western Wayne 0-11

Rundown: Scranton Prep, GAR and North Pocono lead their respective Divisions by a game. Scranton Prep is the most likely to sweep their final two games and take Lackawanna League Division 1. GAR has one tough matchup with city rival Meyers. They knock off Meyers, they would just need to knock off Hanover Area to clinch the WVC Division 2 title. North Pocono has the toughest schedule remaining, with West Scranton and division rival Honesdale remaining. If Crestwood wins out, they clinch as high as the 3 seed if Del Val overtakes North Pocono for the LL Division 2 title or they would be the 4 seed. Nanticoke needs the most help, they need to win both their games and for GAR to lose one of their two games in order to force a one-game playoff.

2A

1 Meyers 11-0 (Division Champs)

2 Elk Lake 10-0 (Division Leader)

3 Mid Valley 8-2 (Division Leader)

Rundown: Meyers can clinch the Top seed by winning their final two games against city rivals GAR and Holy Redeeemer. Elk Lake can overtake the Top seed if they win their final two games and Meyers loses once.
