Eight District 1 Teams Qualify for the PIAA Class AAAA State Championship Tournament

By virtue of winning their 2nd round games tonight in the District 1 Class AAAA tournament, eight teams have qualified for the 32 team field in this season's PIAA Class AAAA state championship tournament.  Those teams--and their winning scores--are:

Chester 59 Methacton 31
Norristown Area 59 Pennsbury 45
Central Buck West 62 Cheltenham 47
Wissahickon 60 Bensalem 53
Lower Merion 64 Plymouth-Whitemarsh 46
Souderton Area 70 Council Rock North 53
Coatesville Area 71 Penn Wood 62
Abington 62 Great Valley 51

The eight teams that lost tonight will play a single elimination playoff for the 9th District 1 spot in the PIAA Class AAAA state championship tournament.  Tonight's eight winners continue in the District 1 Class AAAA winners bracket too determine the district champion and to determine seeding positions in the state championship tournament.

Back on December 27, in an article on this website, I predicted the nine teams that I thought would be District 1's Class AAAA representatives in the PIAA state championship tournament:  Abington, Central Bucks West, Chester, Coatesville Area, Lower Merion, Marple Newtown (I was wrong on that one!), Penn Wood (can qualify for the 9th District 1 spot), Plymouth-Whitemarsh (can qualify for the 9th District 1 spot), and Wissahickon.
