On Wednesday, some District 11 titles were settled in the Lehigh Valley Press coverage area, while a few more are on the line Thursday night. In football, the action all gets under way this weekend.

In field hockey, the Emmaus Hornets did it again - their 28th straight district title after a 3-1 victory over Stroudsburg Wednesday night.

Meredith Sholder notched the first goal of the game with about two minutes left in the first half to break a scoreless tie. That score would hold up until halftime before the teams traded two quick goals to keep the Hornets up 2-1. Kacie Patton would score the insurance goal.
