Chester County Football: Many area teams in playoff hunt.

Friday, week nine of the scholastic football season is here and with the district playoffs just two weeks away, Chester County currently boasts many teams the district playoff race. In the 6A bracket, Downingtown East, Coatesville and Conestoga look to be locks for the post season with Downingtown West sitting just one spot out of the golden 16, at the number 17 spot. A Downingtown West win tonight over the number three seed, Downingtown East, would likely put the Whippets into the district playoffs.

 

In the 5A bracket, six area teams are currently in the top 16. West Chester Rustin is currently the top seed and the Golden Knights, along with Unionville and Kennett appear to be locks for the district playoffs. Oxford, West Chester Henderson and Great Valley all appear to need wins in the last two weeks to secure their spot in the 5A bracket. Great Valley is currently sitting at number 16 in the 5A bracket.

 

In the 4A bracket, four teams qualify for the district playoffs. Bishop Shanahan is sitting at number two right now and the Eagles will likely need a win over either Coatesville or Chichester to secure a spot in the 4A bracket. Upper Moreland is currently the top spot in the 4A race.
