Despite the fact that we told Cedar Cliff's coaching staff we weren't publishing any more predictions, we're making one exception for Friday's PIAA finals at Medlar Field in State College.
Predictions are listed in the order the games will be played. If you don't like our picks, remember that we've been wrong more often than not since the start of the District 3 playoffs.
Class AAA (10:30 a.m.)
Tunkhannock 5, Northern 3 -- Do the Polar Bears have it in them to bring a state title back to Dillsburg? Absolutely. The fact that Tunkhannock pitcher Mike Healey has had nearly a week of rest will swing the result in favor of the District 2 champs.
Kurt Bopp's pick: Northern 3, Tunkhannock 2 -- Vince Apicella will be the difference in this one. If he can keep the Tigers at bay, Northern offense should be able to score just enough off Mike Healey for the win.
Class A (1 p.m.)
Serra Catholic 9, Reading Central Catholic 0 -- Pitcher Alain Girmin has a 23-0 career record and wants to erase last year's bad memories of the shocking loss to Christopher Dock. After two near misses, the Eagles get it done.
Class AA (3:30 p.m.)
Salisbury Township 7, Riverside 6 -- We picked Salisbury Township from the start. Don't ask us why, we just had a feeling. Riverside is strong and could be considered a slight favorite.
Class AAAA (6 p.m.)
Conestoga 6, Spring-Ford 4 -- Remember when these teams last met? Of course you don't. If you read this blog, you probably only follow District 3. Well, in the District 1-AAAA final, the Rams scored a 22-11 win in six innings. Conestoga hasn't forgetten and exacts revenge.
