FROM KEITH GROLLER


Central Catholic and Parkland have been in the top two spots all season and after their impressive district championship wins over the weekend, there's no definitely no reason to change now.
Team                         Record    Last wk     Comment
1. Central Catholic          27-0           1        Last team area team to start 27-0 was Allentown High in '46.  
2. Parkland                    21-5           2        Last team to repeat in 4A classification was Whitehall, 2004-05.
3. Emmaus                    18-8           3        Now 1-6 overall in District 11 title games, winning only in '86.
4. Poc. Mt. West            20-5           5       Panthers have lost exactly five games in each of the last seven seasons and are a remarkable 147-35 in that stretch.
5. Stroudsburg               16-11          6       Wasn't pretty vs. Liberty, but Mounties qualified for states for first time since '99.
6. Notre Dame                17-9           7       Crusaders figure to be more competitve against Del Val Charter on Saturday than they were in first round against Constitution last year.
7. Liberty                       13-13         4        The Hurricanes were inconsistent to the bitter end on Saturday.
8. Allen                         14-10         9        The loss to Dieruff on Feb. 8 was so costly. Knocked Canaries out of LVC tournament and gave them a poor seed for districts, placing them vs. Parkland in quarterfinals..
9. Pius X                        19-4          8         Not suprised Royals lost to Mahanoy Area in Class A finals, but a little surprised it wasn't more competitive.
10. Bangor                    17-7           NR       Slaters move in, Becahi moves out. Understand there were injuries, but Golden Hawks were still a disappointment in the postseason after winning LVC East.
Others to note: Becahi (12-14) Catasauqua (17-9), Easton (12-11), E.S. North (17-7), Lehighton (14-11), Northern Lehigh (13-10), Salisbury (15-9), Saucon Valley (14-10), Southern Lehigh (14-9), Whitehall (13-10).
