How are we doing?

We're a little less than halfway through divisional play, so what better time to look back on our predictions for champions?

Commonwealth -- We picked Cedar Cliff to repeat. Right now, the Colts are mired in the middle of the pack behind Chambersburg, Cumberland Valley and Red Land. Cedar Cliff has struggled to put it all together. When the team scores run, the pitching falters and vice versa. If coach Justin Phillips doesn't figure it out quickly, there won't be another celebration in Lower Allen Twp.

Keystone -- Our choice was Lower Dauphin. The Falcons won the division last year and returned enough talent to win it again. After a rough start, Lower Dauphin is back on top and we think the only team that can dethrone them is Palmyra. The Cougars are solid but already lost to LD once.

Colonial -- We went against two-time defending champion Northern in favor of Waynesboro and we're regretting it. The Polar Bears have out-scored Waynesboro, 18-0, in two games and, with a two-game lead over Big Spring, are cruising toward another title. Behind pitchers Vince Apicella and Andrew Keirn, this team is going to be hard to beat.

Capital -- East Pennsboro, our pick, is still trying to figure it all out. The Panthers and leadoff hitter Tyler Mardis (above) went through a four-game losing streak this month and sit three games behind West Perry, the division leader. East Penn needs to leap over Susquenita, Trinity and West Perry if it hopes to win this division. Alex Card is the staff ace but the other pitchers have struggled.
