A meaningless weekend?

Need proof that the six-division format doesn't work for the Mid-Penn conference?

Look at this weekend's schedule. There are more a few games that should always be division affairs. Bishop McDevitt at Central Dauphin; Harrisburg at Carlisle and Milton Hershey at Boiling Springs come to mind. Unfortunately, the only thing that these games will help determine is playoff positioning.

That, in our opinion, is a shame. It's the second year of this format and Year 2 hasn't been any easier to stomach. Last week wasn't an issue as division games were all over the docket. But weeks like this, it's simply tough to get excited about a game that has no bearing on any regular season race.
