PLAYOFF OUTLOOK AFTER FRIDAY NIGHT

With the regular season in the books, here is what the District 9 postseason looks like in Class A-AA-AAA. With DuBois losing Friday night, the Beavers won't play in the District 6-9-10 tournament.

Keep in mind that everything listed below is unofficial. District 9 will release official playoff brackets either over the weekend or Monday.

CLASS A

With Cameron County losing to Brockway 57-22 in the AML Title game, Curwensville (8-1) becomes the No. 1 seed. Redbank Valley (5-5), meanwhile, is the No. 2 seed following Clarion’s 30-27 loss to Karns City with Elk County Catholic (7-2) coming in at No. 3, Clarion (5-5) at No. 4, Cameron County (7-3) at No. 5, Port Allegany (5-4) at No. 6 and most likely Kane (4-5) at No. 7 and Smethport (4-5) at No.8 (although it isn’t confirmed that either Kane or Smethport will accept the bids. Coudersport has already indicated it is declining a bid that would have given it the No. 7 seed). Smethport gets in based on Johnsonburg’s 30-26 loss at Keystone (3-7) that eliminated the Rams (4-6) from postseason consideration.

The top four seeds will hosts the bottom four seeds next weekend – most likely with all games Friday night.  

CLASS AA

Brockway (10-0) had already secured the top seed before winning the AML Title Friday night. Brookville (8-2) has the No. 2 seed and Moniteau (5-5) the No. 3 seed. Karns City (4-6) would have been the fourth seed but has declined to enter the postseason and it is believed neither Sheffield (1-8 going into Saturday’s game with Sheffield) nor A-C Valley (1-8) will enter meaning a three-team tournament with Brockway getting a bye and Brookville facing Moniteau at a neutral site – most likely Clarion University’s Memorial Stadium – either Friday or Saturday – Saturday night if its at Memorial Stadium. The winner of that game would then face Brockway in the title game the following weekend at a neutral site.

CLASS AAA

Clearfield (10-0) is the top seed and Punxsutawney (10-0) is the No. 2 seed. The two will meet either Friday or Saturday at a neutral site – most likely either Brockway or DuBois – for the District 9 title. It’s a rematch of last year’s title game won by Punxsutawney.
