Brian "Hollywood" Ptashinski | October 10, 2023

Seven down and just three games left in the regular season in the District XI Colonial/Schuylkill Football League.

Heading into the final stretch of games in the Colonial/Schuylkill League, we have three teams that have clinched a District XI playoff berth. Palmerton and Northwestern Lehigh in class 3A and Southern Lehigh in 5A. The fourth team in District XI to clinch a spot is Parkland from the EPC in 6A.

These next few weeks are going to prove to be interesting as teams try to make that final push to qualify for the postseason, while others will be jockeying for position to get a home game or two possible, before playing for a District title at a neutral site.

Let’s look at last week’s results and the schedule for week eight:
