Pete’s Top-10: Championship week is on the horizon

We’ve made it to championship week for most schools across District 11 and none will be bigger than the showdown between a pair of undefeated juggernauts when Easton and Parkland battle on Friday night at BASD Stadium.

It’ll be an opportunity for the Rovers to stamp their flag in the Matt Senneca era and perhaps overcome Parkland as the new program standard in District 11.

Northwestern looks to keep defending its state title from last year with another undefeated matchup between Notre Dame, and Southern Lehigh hopes to keep the Colonial League power going when they play Bethlehem Catholic Thursday night for the 4A crown.

Whitehall rounds out the poll as the first team to play in the state tournament with a home showdown against Philadelphia’s Roman Catholic Friday night.
