The East Penn Conference announced their plans for the winter season and they fall under the same format that worked well during the fall season.

Teams will be split into geographic divisions by counties and conference play will remain within the division. With winter practices set to begin on November 20, here’s what the winter looks like for EPC schools.

The three divisions are as followed: Lehigh: Allen, CCHS, Emmaus, Parkland and Whitehall; Northampton: Becahi, Easton, Freedom, Liberty, Nazareth and Northampton; Monroe: ES North, ES South, Pleasant Valley, PM East, PM West and Stroudsburg.

However, things may need to be changed as Liberty and Freedom have decided to postpone winter sports until Jan. 11.

In boys and girls basketball, divisional teams will play each other three times for a total of 15 contests.

In swimming, teams will see each other twice for 10 meets and wrestling will follow the same format as swimming for a total of 10 matches.

The basketball schedule begins on December 15 and runs through December 23 before a lengthy layoff, as the schedule won’t ramp up again until January 15.

Swimming will follow the same date pattern as basketball, while the wrestling season gets underway a day later on December 16 and restarts on January 14.
