It’s district postseason time again, so MSA Sports is always ready to lend a helping hand in seeding the brackets. it’s not a true ranking because in general, the WPIAL avoids teams from the same section playing each other. Here is our two cents, which is worth just that as 62 teams get ready to settle it on the field starting next week.

Quad-A and Triple-A have 16 teams with no bye’s. Double-A has 15 teams with one first round bye which is the same set up for Single-A.

The First Round consists of #8 vs #9, #7 vs #10, #6 vs #11, #5 vs #12, #4 vs #13, #3 vs #14, #2 vs #15 and #1 vs #16.
