Recapping districts so far: Who's in and who's out?
HERSHEY -- Being a member of the press does have its perks. Tonight, it's a courtside seat at the Giant Center for the District 3, Class AAAA semifinals. Fourth-seeded William Penn is scheduled to take on undefeated top-seed Hempfield at 8 p.m. Second-seeded Wilson and third-seeded Reading are currently taking part in the first semifinal (pictured above).
I have about an hour to kill until that one gets underway, so real quick here's a recap of the York-Adams teams who are still in contention for a district title and/or a state playoff berth.
