17. William Penn (3-6) at Central York (6-3)*

16. Northeastern (6-3) at Kennard-Dale (0-9)**

22. New Oxford (4-5) at West York (9-0)

CLASS AA (TOP 8 QUALIFY)

2. Bermudian Springs (9-0) vs. Biglerville (8-1)

5. Biglerville (8-1) at Bermudian Springs (9-0)

8. Littlestown (6-3) at Fairfield (1-8)***

6. York Catholic (4-5) at York Suburban (5-4)****

**** -- The Irish need to win and get some help. Fifth-place side Camp Hill faces a tough matchup with Steel-High. But York Catholic would also likely need a loss by Columbia, which visits 2-7 Northern Lebanon on Friday.
