7 District XI Basketball Teams Qualify For State Quarter-Finals


The ranks have thinned. Only seven District XI basketball teams - three boys' and four girls' - have made it to the final eight in their quest for the chip of their respective divisions.

 Boys' Basketball:

2A: Moravian Academy, which jumped from #21 to #17 in state rankings, dominated Northwest (Shickshinny) (#41) on Wednesday night, 74-46. It will face Philadelphia's Constitution Generals (#2) on Saturday, .

3A: Notre Dame Green Pond (#27) was eliminated by Bishop McDevitt (#15) Wednesday night, 77-51.
.
4A: Bethlehem Catholic (#3) clobbered Conwell-Egan (#29) Tuesday night, 97-66. On Friday, the Golden Hawks will take on Berks Catholic (#4) in its first competitive game for its division.

5A: Though Allentown Central Catholic High School defeated Dallas High School 61-57, on Tuesday night, they won the game in double overtime. It was against a team that at that time was only ranked #21. So the Vikings' state rankings have dropped from #7 to #10  On Friday, they set sail to Reading High School to take on the #1-ranked Friars of Bonner-Prendergast. .

6A: Pocono Mtn West (#48), the only District XI team still standing, in 6A, was disqualified last night by the Hazleton Area Cougars, 69-50.  .

    Thanks for the hoops update. How about the William Allen team? They have come out of nowhere to make a respectable run. Hazleton must have some kind of a good team, I hadn't heard anything about them this year. I'm really behind the CCHS boys and the Southern Lehigh girls, a couple of good local teams that will really need to play well to advance.

    William Allen is still in it and barely made playoffs! I wish them great success.

    I know that CCHS is facing a very tough opponent on Friday. No bad teams at this stage of the game.

    Unfortunately the basketball gods were arrayed against us. I will write a dirge on Saturday.
