AML NORTH

Otto-Eldred (3-2 overall, 3-2 AML North) at Coudersport (5-0, 5-0)

WHERE

Coudersport

WHEN

Friday, 7 p.m.

LAST WEEK

Coudersport beat Smethport 9-0

GAME NOTES

• Coudersport could clinch the AML North title for the second straight year with a win and a Port Allegany loss. The Falcons hold a 1-game lead over Port Allegany with three games to play and would hold the tiebreaker over the Gators on the basis of head-to-head play. The Falcons could also take a big step toward securing a District 9 Class A playoff bid for the third consecutive season.
• Otto-Eldred’s season could be at a crossroads. Already a succes based on the past few seasons’ struggles, the Terrors still have a chance to make the District 9 Class AA playoffs. But a loss could dampen that chance.

WHEN

1:30 p.m. Saturday

LAST WEEK

GAME NOTES

• Every game is an important one for Port Allegany as the Gators try to make the District 9 Class A playoffs. If they run the table they are probably in, but a loss could hurt their chances. They still have an outside shot at the AML North title as well, but they would need Coudersport to lose 2 of its final 3 games while they sweep their final three.
