District 3 = Blowout Central

Through this afternoon there have been 42 games in this year's District 3 postseason.

If you've been to one of the close ones, consider yourself fortunate.

For the purpose of this update, we're going to label a 'close' game as one decided by single digits (nine points or fewer).

Of those 42 games, a total of seven have met our criteria for a close game. That's an impressive 16 percent of games decided by single digits.

This weekend, Steelton-Highspire took the Class A title by 33 points (49-16) and Lancaster Catholic captured AA gold via a 41-0 whitewash of Middletown.

In AAAA, Wilson and Cumberland Valley advanced with 48-6 and 44-0 routs of Bishop McDevitt and Governor Mifflin, respectively.

The only close game of the weekend was Manheim Central's 26-21 squeaker over Mechanicsburg on Saturday in the AAA semifinals. The other AAA game was West York's 20-0 win over Garden Spot.
