Bishop McDevitt, via a 42-21 win over Carlisle on Saturday, clinched the Mid-Penn Keystone Division title. The Crusaders finished divisional play 4-0. McDevitt, ranked No. 2 in Class AAAA according to the Pennsylvania Football News, ends the season with a pair of home games against State College (8-0) and Erie McDowell (5-3).
The only other outright division champion so far is Greencastle-Antrim (8-0), who staked its claim to the Capital thanks to its 24-16 win over Northern on Friday.
Three other unbeaten teams have clinched at least a share of their respective divisions. State College, Mechanicsburg and Steelton-Highspire all need to win their division finales in order to win the Commonwealth, Colonial and Patriot divisions outright.
None of the three are in division play this week. All will be at home Oct. 31 to try and wrap up the outright titles. State College hosts Chambersburg (0-8); Mechanicsburg welcomes Red Land (5-3) to John H. Frederick Field and Steel-High meets an always-dangerous Camp Hill team. The Lions enter Week 9 at 6-2.
The Mid-Penn took a lot of heat for the new six-team alignment but the conference might get the last laugh as far as the Liberty Division is concerned. Both Middletown and Palmyra will enter Week 10 with 4-0 records in the division. The two square off for the outright title at Middletown's War Memorial Field on Halloween night.
