Playoffs Looming

As we hit the month of October, the playoff races are going to start to become a factor. Either teams pushing for positioning or teams just trying to make the postseason. As a reminder, Single-A only gets two and it looks as though Old Forge and Lackawanna Trail are on pace for a collision course with each other. In Double-A, four of five teams make the playoffs and currently, Mid Valley and Carbondale are competing for the last spot. In 3A, eight out of nine teams make the postseason and it looks like the field is set as Holy Redeemer is currently 0-6. Yes, a bunch of 1-5 teams have a chance to make the postseason. In 4A, possibly the biggest field in District 2, eight out of 13 teams make the postseason. Honesdale is holding onto the 8th spot with Abington Heights and Tunkhannock on the outside looking in. 5A is the most unusual. District 2 is in a subregional with District 11 and 4 of 6 teams make the postseason. Currently, Valley West and Wallenpaupack would be in the Subregional if the regular season ended today. In 6A, all four teams make the playoffs. All the teams are currently playing for positioning. With all that being said, here are the scores from this past weekend.
