Mid-Penn tiebreaker

The fact that the Mid-Penn has implemented a one-game playoff to decide divisional champions has the potential to cause quite a problem at the end of this week.

Thanks to Suquenita's 3-0 win over Trinity on Tuesday, the Blackhawks earned a share of the Mid-Penn Capital Division with rival West Perry.

But, if Trinity beats Boiling Springs on Thursday, the Shamrocks will forge a three-way tie atop the division.

If that happens, the Mid-Penn is expected to bracket the teams in a mini-playoff. The two teams with lower District 3 power ratings would play each other (likely Friday) with the winner playing the team with the better District 3 power rating (likely Saturday).

Remember, this hasn't been confirmed and the issue could still be averted if Boiling Springs beats Trinity on Thursday.

The Mid-Penn Tournament begins Monday at Northern with semifinal games at 4 and 6:30 p.m.
