Pete’s Top-10: D-11 trio heads to state tourney

Poll season finally has come to an end with the PIAA tournament getting runway this week for most teams across the state. Easton, Northwestern and Southern Lehigh are the last men standing with the Rovers getting their shot at taking down LaSalle this Friday.

Northwestern looks to defend their state championship with a showdown against Scranton Prep and Southern Lehigh faces an undefeated Shamokin squad with their eyes towards a state run.
