CLASS 2A

At Allen

At 6 p.m. -- Notre Dame (Dist. 11, No. 2, 15-10) vs. Constitution (Dist. 12, No. 3, 16-9).

Note: The way the 4A bracket is set up both Liberty, and possibly, Parkland could have to play Chester. If Liberty beats Williamsport, the Hurricanes get the Clippers in the second round. The winner of that game could then meet Parkland in the state quarters on March 16, assuming the Trojans get by Ridley and either Great Valley or Wilson of West Lawn in the second round.

In 2A, Constitution is the defending state Class A champ.
