Cedar Cliff beat Middletown on Wednesday, 36-29, but the Colts have more work to do than originally thought.
Cedar Cliff travels to Mid-Penn Commonwealth foes Red Land on Thursday and Central Dauphin East on Saturday. The Sentinel did not receive word of the Colts' rescheduled dual meet with East until Wednesday evening, rendering the earlier scenario useless.
The Panthers, who beat Susquenita 32-29 Wednesday, are still in the running for the division's third-place spot, making it a three-team race in the division.
"We've still got to win," Cedar Cliff coach Robert Rapsey said after his team beat Middletown. "If we don't beat East we don't go because they would could technically move up to third. There's still a lot of work to be done."
Two wins and the Colts are in, it's that simple. Two losses coupled with a Middletown win against Susquenita puts the Blue Raiders in the postseason. East can earn the third spot by beating Cedar Cliff and hoping Susquenita beats Middletown.
Susquenita's loss to East eliminated any hopes the Blackhawks had of qualifying for the District 3-AA field.
Here's the updated Commonwealth standings (third through fifth) with division games remaining and opponents:
3. Cedar Cliff 4-2 at Red Land; at Central Dauphin East
4. Middletown 4-3 at Susquenita
5. CD East 4-3 vs. Cedar Cliff
