*ECC and Kane are currently tied for the No. 3/5 spots and have the same power points. .
^Curwensville or Brockway would currently be the No. 6 seed with the other being the No. 7 seed depending on whether or not District 9 is using Power Points based on all games or Power Points based on just AML games to decide the AML spots. If all games are used, Curwensville would be No. 6, but if just AML games are used then Brockway would be No. 6
