District 11 basketball tournament: The matchups and most of the first week sites are set

FROM KEITH GROLLER


The District 11 committee has released the matchups and most of the sites for the first week of games for the 2014 basketball tournament. The one exception in regard to sites is in 4A boys where Parkland and Emmaus will be involved in games on Saturday against opponents to be determined.
District 11 is waiting to see who wins the preliminary round games on Wednesday before determining the Saturday site.
My guess is that if Allen beats Easton on Wednesday, a doubleheader involving Emmaus and Parkland will be played at Easton.
If Easton beats Allen on Wednesday, that same 4A doubleheader will be played at Allen.
But the rest of the times and sites for the first week of the tournament have been set.
Remember that all pigtail or preliminary-round games on Tuesday and Wednesday will be held at the higher seed.
Here's a look:
