Must-see: Four Footballs Rating
WEEK 12
No .2 Wyoming Area Warriors (9-2) at No. 1 Scranton Prep Cavaliers (10-1)
Scranton Memorial Stadium (Turf), Friday 7pm – Media: NEPAFootball.com
District 2 Class 3A Championship
Series: Scranton Prep 11-2
Last Meeting: 2025 – Scranton Prep 42-0
Last Week: Wyoming Area 55, Mid Valley 11; Scranton Prep 49, Lake-Lehman 12
Players To Watch
Wyoming Area: QB Luke Kopetchny; Scranton Prep: QB Owen Jeffers
The Skinny: These teams are two of the most successful small school programs in District 2. But Scranton Prep has been a step above everyone with five straight district titles. The last time Wyoming Area beat Scranton Prep was in 2019 on its way to a state title. Since then, the Cavaliers have been dominant in this series. The Warriors will need a mistake-free game to have a chance.

No. 2 Lakeland Chiefs (8-3) at No. 1 Dunmore Bucks (11-0)
Dunmore Veterans Memorial Stadium (Turf), Friday 7pm – Media: NEPAFootball.com
District 2 Class 2A Championship
Series: Dunmore 33-27
Last Meeting: 2026 Dunmore 53-6
Last Week: Lakeland 36, Riverside 13; Dunmore 69, Holy Redeemer 14
Players to Watch
Lakeland: QB Chase Rosenkrans; Dunmore: WR Jake Costanzo
The Skinny: These two teams played two weeks ago and it wasn’t close. In fact, Lakeland didn’t even score an offensive touchdown. This is more of a reflection on how good Dunmore is. The Bucks are a heavy favorite to win their first district title since 2023 and to go on a state run.
Key Matchup: Lakeland linebackers vs. Dunmore offensive line
Favorite: Dunmore by 38
No. 6 Valley View Cougars (6-5) at No. 2 North Pocono Trojans (10-1)
NP Sports Complex (Turf), Friday 7pm
District 2 Class 4A Semifinal
Series:Valley View 35-18
Last Meeting: 2026 – North Pocono 27-14
Last Week: Valley View 42, Honesdale 21; North Pocono 42, Carbondale 7
Players to Watch
Valley View: LB Jeffrey Wasilchak; North Pocono: WR Cole West
The Skinny: North Pocono is the defending champions and will be at home. These teams played in Week 4 and Valley View’s offense has vastly improved since then. In the last two meetings, Cole West has been the difference and the Cougars have not had answer. Look for the Trojans to try to dominate in the trenches where they have been strong all season.
Key Matchup: Valley View defensive line vs. North Pocono offensive line
Favorite: North Pocono by 10
No. 4 Wallenpaupack Buckhorns (7-4) at No. 1 Dallas Mountaineers (11-0)
Mountaineer Stadium (Turf), Friday 7pm
District 2 Class 4A Semifinal
Series: Dallas 7-2
Last Meeting: 2023 – Dallas 43-11
Last Week: Wallenpaupack 31, Berwick 14; Dallas 48, Hanover Area 14
Players To Watch
Wallenpaupack: RB Ed Kiesendahl; Dallas: WR Tyce Mason
The Skinny: This might be the toughest opponent Dallas has faced all season. The problem for Wallenpaupack is the Mountaineers can beat you in so many ways including special teams where they have five touchdowns this season. The Buckhorns will not be complicated. They will run Ed Kiesendahl and tell Dallas to stop him. Paupack has been good running the football, but the Mounts have also been good against the run.
Key Matchup: Wallenpaupack offensive line vs. Dallas linebackers
Favorite: Dallas by 13
No. 2 Wyoming Valley West Spartans (6-5) at No. 1 Williamsport Millionaires (8-3)
STA Stadium (Turf), Friday 7pm
District 2/4 Class 6A Subregional Championship
Series: Wyoming Valley West 26-25
Last Meeting: 2026 – Williamsport 41-21
Last Week: Valley West 35, Hazleton 7; Williamsport 38, West Scranton 13
Players To Watch
Valley West: RB Gadgidas Reisinger; Williamsport: RB Zion Hughes
The Skinny: Wyoming Valley West is District 2 champion and the Spartans now can top off their successful season with a subregional title and a state playoff berth. It won’t be easy on the road against a very good Williamsport team. But the Spartans have a chance and that is something we haven’t see for many seasons.
Key Matchups: West Scranton linebackers vs. Williamsport run game
Favorite: Williamsport by 17
Hollidaysburg Golden Tigers (8-2) at Abington Heights Comets (7-4)
AH Sports Complex (Turf), Friday 7pm
District 2/6 Class 5A Subregional Championship
Series: Hollidaysburg 1-0
Last Meeting: 2024 – Hollidaysburg 24-23
Last Week: Hollidaysburg 42, DuBois 22; Abington Heights 40, Pittston Area 7
Players To Watch
Hollidaysburg: RB Issac Vent; Abington Heights: DL Thomas Reese
The Skinny: These two teams played two years ago in the first round of the state playoffs with Abington Heights almost pulling an improbable comeback that ended with a missed extra point. That game was three hours away and now the Comets get the Golden Tigers on their home turf. The run games should determine this game.
Key Matchup: Hollidaysburg defensive line vs. Abington Heights run game
Favorite: Hollidaysburg by 7
