District 5-A Boys Soccer preview
Saturday's Quarterfinals
(8) Rockwood at (1) Conemaugh Township
(5) Fannett-Metal at (4) North Star
(6) McConnellsburg at (3) Windber
(7) HOPE for Hyndman at (2) Northern Bedford
Breakdown: To me, this is a wide-open tournament. And traditionally, lower seeds have done well, including last year's final where it was third-seeded Fannett-Metal and fourth-seeded Chestnut Ridge squaring off. FM won last year, while they will first face the winner two years ago in North Star. Northern Bedford and HOPE for Hyndman have split their matchups this year.
The championship pick: Northern Bedford.

District 5-A Girls Soccer Preview
Saturday's Quarterfinals
(8) Johnstown Christian at (1) Conemaugh Township
(5) Chestnut Ridge at (4) McConnellsburg
(6) Tussey Mountain at (3) North Star
(7) Rockwood at (2) Berlin
Breakdown: The top four seeds all have at least 13 wins. Conemaugh Township has 16, Berlin 15, and North Star and McConnellsburg each at 13. Chestnut Ridge is the fifth seed based on tiebreaker criteria over Tussey Mountain. I see the top part of the bracket as Conemaugh Township's to lose, while the bottom half is up for grabs, and I'll take Berlin for a 1 vs. 2 final next week.
The championship pick: Conemaugh Township.

District 5/6-AA Girls Soccer Playoff Preview
Tuesday's Play-In Result
(9) Huntingdon 2, (8) Tyrone 1
Thursday's Quarterfinals
9 Huntingdon (10-7) at 1 Forest Hills (16-0-1)
5 Bedford (13-4-1) at 4 Westmont-Hilltop (12-3-2)
6 Somerset (11-6-1) at 3 Ligonier Valley (13-3-1)
7 Juniata (11-5-1) at 2 Bellefonte (13-3)
Breakdown: The Class AA field features a lot of talent that shows with each team having at least 10 wins in the season. Top seed Forest Hills is the prohibitive favorite and rides the offensive firepower from seniors Casey Gallaher and Briana Kostan, who have both topped the 100-goal mark for their respective careers. The 4-5 matchup between Westmont and Bedford is a rematch from last year's quarterfinals, won in a penalty kick shootout by Westmont. This contest will take place at Richland High School, same as last year. These two played twice already this year. Westmont won 2-1 in the first one, and the teams played to a 2-2 tie last week.
The championship pick: Forest Hills.
