Pete’s Top-10: D-11 titles on the line

We are down to the final two weeks of the District 11 postseason, as we have four teams in the poll vying for championships with East Stroudsburg South and Whitehall battling for the 5A title, while Northwestern and Central Catholic lock horns again in 4A.

However, this week’s Parkland and Emmaus 6A semifinal is the marquee matchup of the week, as the Trojans have the task of knocking off Emmaus for the second time in three weeks.

Top-ranked Freedom takes on an undefeated Northampton team that comes in as an underdog looking for respect.

Plenty of storylines on the table this week, so we’ll see how these teams write their script.
