The good news is that when Cumberland Valley and Wilson take the field at Hersheypark Stadium on Saturday night to decide the District 3 Class AAAA championship, the site for their PIAA semifinal game the following week will be known.
The bad news is that the site won't be known until the State College vs. Bethel Park game goes final Friday night.
PIAA assistant executive director Mark Byers confirmed Monday afternoon that the site depends on what State College, a District 6 school, does. If the Little Lions win, they must travel to Hersheypark Stadium to meet the District 3 winner. This fall, District 3 is at the top of the bracket and thus hosts that game.
If State High falls, the District 3 champion would be sent to Mansion Park in Altoona to meet Bethel Park, the District 7 winner. In cases such as District 7 vs. District 3, the PIAA attempts to find a geographic midway point for the game, Byers said.
In Class AAA, the District 3 winner will head to Altoona next weekend if Thomas Jefferson beats Erie Strong Vincent. If Strong Vincent wins, the District 3 rep, either Manheim Central or West York, will be sent to DuBois or Brockway. Both sites are considered midway between the respective districts, Byers said.
For more on the potential sites, see the District 3 Class AAAA championship notebook in The Sentinel on Thursday.
