FROM KEITH GROLLER
The Lehigh Valley is now totally out of the PIAA state basketball tournament. The NCAA tournament, too, after that tough, second-half shooting performance by Lehigh tonight against Xavier.
But the Lehigh Valley will still be involved in the state tournament as a host.
In a Class 2A semifinal on Wednesday night, Holy Cross, the District 2 runner-up, will play Imhotep Charter, the No. 4 team out of District 12 in a game set for 7 p.m. at Liberty.
Meanwhile, on the same night at Reading's Geigle Complex, the Marian Catholic girls -- the lone District 11 team left in the tournament, will play its Class A semifinal against Steelton-Highspire, the runner-up from District 3.
That's a 6 p.m. game that will serve as the opener of a doubleheader that will include the unbeaten District One champion Chester Clippers taking on Central Dauphin from District 3 in the 4A boys semifinal nightcap.
How do the remaining 32 teams break down by district?
District 7 -- 10 teams.
District 12 -- 8 teams.
District 3 -- 5 teams
District 1 -- 3 teams
District 2 and 10 -- 2 teams apiece.
District 9 and 11 -- 1 team apiece.
And the public school, charter school, parochial breakdown?
14 public schools
13 parochial schools
5 charter schools
