Underdogs Move On

PIAA District 1 AAAA football playoffs - 6 of 8 teams from the bottom half of the 16 team bracket move on to week 2. Easterpafootball.com published the updated playoff bracket. Council Rock South and Garnet Valley were the only higher seeded teams to move on. Contrary to Rick O'Brien's predictions. Rick and others still see North Penn as the favorite in the field.
