The Fayette County League will begin their playoffs this week with a double elimination tournament.

The first round matchups are:

(1) Uniontown vs. (8) Farmington

(4) Connellsville vs. (5) California

(3) Colonial vs. (6) Charleroi

(2) Belle Vernon vs (7) Point Marion

Stay tuned for updates on this league, as well as many others from around the state.

The District 11 League of northeastern PA's Region 5 has finalized their representatives for the upcoming state regional tournament.  The two teams are determined by the regular season champion in each of the league's two divisions.

By virtue of a 10-3 record in the Kay Division, Dunmore has advanced to state play.  Valley View gets the league's other bid, after winning the Sebastianelli Division, with a record of 9-4.  Both divisions were hotly contested, with South Scranton and Carbondale/Lakeland just missing out on the top seeds.

The District 11 League has one of the most unique postseason formats in the state, as they'll continue playing games through the next several weeks, sans the two division winners.  The remaining teams aren't eligible for state postseason play, but do get many more weeks of games in the area.  This format allows for every team to keep playing a while longer, whereas with a tournament scenario most of the teams would be done for the summer in early July.

In other Region 5 news, the Wyoming Valley League's playoff picture will become much clearer on Thursday night.  The final teams and seedings will be determined then, with the tournament commencing on Saturday.

Be sure to check back often for up to date playoff results from around the state!

The eight teams of southeastern PA's Berks County League begin their respective playoff games on Wednesday evening.  Tournament is double elimination, nine inning games.

Games are hosted by the higher seed for the first two days, before heading over to Bear Stadium for the remainder of the tournament.  

First round games are as follows:

Exeter (8 seed) at Boyertown (1), 7pm

West Lawn (5) at Shillington (4), 7pm

Gregg Post (7) at Conrad Weiser (2), 5pm

Daniel Boone (6) at Twin Valley (3), 7pm

Since West Lawn is hosting the PA Region 2 Tournament in a few weeks, only the postseason champion (or runner-up if West Lawn wins) will advance to state regional play.

Region 5's Wyoming Valley League opened up its 2010 league season earlier this week with a couple games on the schedule.  

Greater Pittston topped Hazleton in their opener, 4-0.  Old Forge and Plymouth split a doubleheader, with Old Forge taking the first game 6-2 and Plymouth rallying back for a 14-7 win in the second.

A few games on tap for today, as well.  Make sure to head out to one if you can make it!

Nanticoke at Plains

Back Mountain at Old Forge

Plymouth at Mountain Post

Looking for a score you can't seem to find? It's quite possible the game you're looking for was postponed due to the ongoing PIAA state playoffs.  Legion teams from across the state have delayed some of their scheduled games so they don't interfere with the current high school season.

We'll find out when the games have been rescheduled to and post the results as soon as they happen.

As always, thanks for stopping by!
