Western Conference Schedule is up!

The Western Conference games are on the site. Please disregard home/away since all of the games will be played on a Saturday in a tournament format. Also the Villa/Fairview game (Oct 20) is yet to be determined and date and place has not been set.

Please note these are just "Conference" games. Other non conference games will be added shortly.

Time for the Central Conference 

 



Friday, March 22
The Eastern Conference Schedule is complete

The Eastern Conference schedule is complete for games that will count towards playoffs.  Each of the Eastern Conference teams will have more non-conference games to be added. 

Monday, March 18
Schedule is being added

Please be patient while I add the schedule to the site. I will be adding the Suburban 1 schedule 1st. Those dates are set. After that I will add the other conferences games that will be played during the week. Finally I will ad the weekend tournaments and which teams will be playing in them. Note: The weekend tournaments schedules come out later and have the most adjustments. I will make a note on the site when the schedule is complete. For now everything you will see on the site is tentative.

Importing all of these games takes quite a bit of time.....

Water Polo @ Bucknell

Congrats to the Water Polo schools that were well represented at PIAA State Swimming and Diving Championships. Special congrats to LaSalle who won the boys title and NA who was the girls team runner-up. Also, newcomer to the polo scene Upper Dublin had and outstanding performance along with many other great individual swims from polo players. Well done!!!

It was also very nice to see North Penn Girls Coach Bill Bartle get inducted into the PIAA swimming and diving Hall of Fame. Well deserved honor for one of the truly great coaches in the state.

New State Format!

The coaches association voted on a new conference alignment and state format in an attempt to save programs and insure a fair opportunity for all of the teams to have a chance to compete at states.

There are now 3 Conferences (You can find them in the TEAMS section)

There will be no more conference championships

The 8 state bids will go as follows:

The Western Conference will get 2 automatic bids

The Eastern and Central Conference will each get 2 automatic bids

The #3 seed out of the East will host the # 4 seed out of the Central and the # 3 seed out of the Central will host the #4 seed out of the East. These games will be "play in" games to states.

Those will be the 8 teams that will make up the state tournament. A committee will decide the seeding for the top 8 at states. 

The same format will be used for the state tournament.
