Okay, the first round is over in four of the eight classes in the PIAA playoffs. As I told you, Solanco probably would have a hangover in Girls 4-A from their big week in the L-L League playoffs last week and Cedar Crest needed to guard against a letdown from winning the L-L League. I still picked them, but...
In Boys' 3-A, I picked seven of the eight games right -- losing only when I picked Middletown over East Pennsboro.
In Boys A, I had five of the six first round games correct, losing out when Camp Hill beat out Lancaster Country Day.
I took a bath in girls' basketball.
In 4-A, I lost one of my finalists in Lebanon took a bath last night. In 3-A, I went 4-4, while in 2-A, I went 3-2. There are no L-L League teams left in those two classes.
Here are the scores:
Boys 3-A: Eastern 71, Wyomissing 48; Susquehanna Township 57, Boiling Springs 41; West York 70, Big Spring 36; Hershey 56, Lancaster Catholic 34; York Suburban 60, Muhlenberg 34; Steel-Highh 52, Oley Valley 34.
Boys 1-A: Millersburg 69, Lancaster Christian 34; Living Word 41, Harrisburg Christian 34; Greenwood 75, Dayspring Christian 34; Camp Hill 47, Lancaster Country Day 41; New Hope 50, Mount Calvary 34 and Lebanon Catholic 72, Christian School of York 39.
Girls 4-A: Red Lion 46, Cumberland Valley 36; Central Dauphin 59, Solanco 34; Hershey 50, Cedar Crest 39; Reading 57, Spring Grove 42; Harrisburg 44, Cedar Crest 34; Governor Mifflin 54, Manheim Township 52 (OT); Mechanicsburg 42, New Oxford 23; CD East 43, Lower Dauphin 41.
Girls 2-A: Holy Name 45, Upper Dauphin 28; Wyomissing 54, Hanover 9; Kutztown 54, Fairfield 29; Biglerville 40, Annville-Cleona 24; Brandywine Heights 36, Tulpehocken 17.

District Three girls' picks
In each of the last two years, there have been two teams from District Three playoffs in the PIAA finals at the Bryce Jordan Center at Penn State. Two years ago, it was Central Dauphin and York Catholic. Last year, it was York Catholic and Lampeter-Strasburg.
So what teams will make the trip to the state finals out of District 3? There are a couple of candidates, but over the next month, it will take a lot of luck, lack of injuries and getting a win when a team doesn't play their best to move on.
So, with that in mind, here are my first round picks and teams that could meet in the finals at the Giant Center next week.
AAAA: Red Lion over Cumberland Valley; Central Dauphin over Solanco, only because the Mares/Mules might still be drained from an unbelieveable schedule from last week, but it could be a toss up; Cedar Crest over Hershey, but the Falcons must avoid a first round letdown after winning the L-L championship; Lebanon over Harrisburg; Township over Governor Mifflin; Mechanicsburg over New Oxford and Lower Dauphin over C.D. East.
Probable finalists: Red Lion over Lebanon.
AAA: West York over Eastern (if this were a boys' game, wow); Daniel Boone over New Oxford; Oley Valley over Susquenita; Shippensburg over Northern Lebanon;. Trinity over Elco. Manheim Central over Boiling Springs; Palmyra over Twin Valley and Lancaster Catholic over Muhlenberg.
Probable finalists: West York over Trinity.
AA: Holy Name over Upper Dauphin; Hanover over Wyomissing; Biglerville over Annville-Cleona and Tulpehocken over Brandywine.
Probable finalists: Lancaster Mennonite over York Catholic.
A: Steel-High over York Country Day; Reading Central Catholic over Millersburg; Lancaster Country Day over Living Word; Bible Baptist over Harrisburg Academy; Lebanon Catholic over Antietam; Camp Hill over Harrisburg Christian; Greenwood over Lititz Christian and Christian School of York over Conestoga Christian.
Probable finalists: Lebanon Catholic over Steel-High.
