長曲棍球：第1號种子達拉斯敦女孩跌至3區3A級四分之一決賽中的Wilson排名第8

達拉斯敦女子曲棍球教練喬·亞歷克斯（Joe Alex）知道，在托架釋放括號之前，他的團隊在3區3A級季后賽中會面臨艱鉅的平局。

The Dallastown girls’ lacrosse team knew it would face a daunting draw in the District 3 Class 3A playoffs well before the brackets were released.

達拉斯敦女子曲棍球隊知道，在托架釋放括號之前，這將在3區3A級季后賽中面臨艱鉅的平局。

The Wildcats earned the top seed with an undefeated record, but their reward was a quarterfinal visit from No. 8-seed Wilson on Tuesday. The Bulldogs, a perennial powerhouse, have reached five of the last seven district title games, a run that includes a 15-goal rout of Dallastown in the 2024 semifinals.

野貓隊以不敗的記錄贏得了頭號种子，但他們的獎勵是周二8號种子威爾遜的四分之一決賽。牛頭犬是一個多年生的強國，已經達到了最近七場地區冠軍賽中的五場，其中包括2024年半決賽中達拉斯敦的15個進球賽。

The back-to-back York-Adams League champions put up a fight and held an early lead, only for Wilson to take control in the late first and early second quarter. In just an hour and a half, Dallastown’s previously perfect season was over after a 15-7 loss.

背靠背的約克 - 亞當斯聯賽冠軍進行了一場戰鬥，並保持領先，只是威爾遜在第一和第二季度初能夠控制。在一個半小時的時間內，達拉斯敦以前的完美賽季在15-7失利之後結束了。

For the first two months and 18 games of the year, the Wildcats never had a losing postgame huddle. Alex never had to talk about bouncing back for the next game, and now there are no more contests for Dallastown and its 11 seniors to play. The Wildcats will not return to the state tournament, in essence, because of an unlucky draw.

在今年的頭兩個月零18場比賽中，野貓隊從來沒有失去賽后的hud。亞歷克斯（Alex）從來沒有談論過彈跳下一場比賽，現在，達拉斯敦（Dallastown）及其11名老年人沒有更多的比賽。由於不幸的抽獎，野貓隊本質上不會返回州比賽。

“They’re a stellar team. It’s a travesty that they were an 8-seed, it really is,” Alex said of Wilson. “I think they’re preparing themselves for a run at the state title, but that pushed them down in the district rankings and messed some things up for (the playoffs). But it is what it is. You’ve got to jump the hurdles that are in front of you.”

亞歷克斯談到威爾遜時說：“他們是一支出色的球隊。這真是一個奇特的人，他們確實是8種子。” “我認為他們正在為州冠軍做準備，但這將他們推倒在地區排名中，並搞砸了一些事情（季后賽）。但這就是事實。您必須跳上您面前的障礙。”

District 3-3A girls’ lacrosse bracket was discombobulated upon formation. Three-time defending champion Manheim Township is the No. 3 seed, although the Blue Streaks — who beat Penn Manor 22-3 on Tuesday — will have home-field advantage moving forward after Dallastown and No. 2 Cumberland Valley (also unbeaten until this week) were ousted by Wilson and Hempfield, respectively. The fourth semifinalist is No. 4-seed New Oxford, which lost twice to Dallastown this season, including 15-3 in just three quarters in the YAIAA playoffs two weeks ago.

形成後，第3-3A區女子曲棍球支架破壞了。三屆衛冕冠軍曼海姆鎮（Manheim Township）是第三名的種子，儘管藍色條紋（週二擊敗賓夕法尼亞州莊園22-3）將在達拉斯敦（Dallastown）和第二名坎伯蘭山谷（Cumberland Valley）（也不康復的第二週）被威爾遜（Wilson）和亨普菲爾德（Hempfield）擊敗後，將有主場優勢向前邁進。第四個半決賽選手是第4種種子的新牛津，本賽季兩次輸給了達拉斯敦，其中包括兩週前在Yaiaa季后賽僅四分之三的15-3。

“Everybody knows who’s who, and you start watching those brackets and see where things are going … but you can’t get distracted by it,” Alex said. “You have to go one game at a time. The first 18 (games) were important, until tonight.”

亞歷克斯說：“每個人都知道誰是誰，你開始觀看這些括號，看看事情的進展……但是你不能被它分散注意力。” “您必須一次參加一場比賽。直到今晚，前18個（遊戲）很重要。”

Wilson improved to 14-7 with Tuesday’s win. The Bulldogs started 4-4 with a quartet of losses to District 1 stalwarts (two came by one goal), and they dropped one-goal battles against reigning D3-2A finalists Twin Valley and Wyomissing before losing again to Twin Valley in the Berks County playoffs. As Jess Fullerton’s team gears up for its eighth straight PIAA appearance, the lessons from a brutally challenging schedule are paying dividends.

威爾遜週二的勝利提高到14-7。牛頭犬隊以4-4的成績以四重奏的損失為第1區的堅定損失（兩個進球是一個進球），他們在統治D3-2A決賽選手Twin Valley和Wyomissing的一場比賽中進行了一球戰，然後再次輸給了Berks縣季后賽的Twin Valley。隨著傑西·富勒頓（Jess Fullerton）的團隊連續第八次出現PIAA的比賽，艱難挑戰的時間表的課程正在付出紅利。

“I think that just makes us tougher,” Fullerton said. “Every time we lose, we take a step back and mourn it for a day and then we have a 24-hour rule. We throw it out after that, we just move on and look at how we can build as a team and come together and see if we can win the next one.”

富勒頓說：“我認為這只是使我們變得更加堅強。” “每次輸掉時，我們都會退後一步，哀悼一天，然後我們有24小時的規則。在那之後，我們將其扔掉，我們只是繼續前進，看看我們如何作為一個團隊建立，看看我們是否可以贏得下一個。”

Sophomore Ryan Leaman tallied seven goals for Wilson on Tuesday. Lexi Federline led Dallastown with five goals and two assists.

大二學生瑞安·萊曼（Ryan Leaman）在周二為威爾遜（Wilson）打進了7個進球。 Lexi Federline帶領達拉斯敦（Dallastown）帶領達拉斯敦（Dallastown）進行了五個進球和兩個助攻。

The Bulldogs are far from the only example, of course, of an underseeded power wreaking havoc on a district playoff bracket. During football season, eventual 5A state champion Bishop McDevitt was the sixth seed in its own District 3 bracket because the Crusaders had taken two losses to 6A powers. In boys’ volleyball, YAIAA champion Northeastern is seeded 13th in the D3-3A draw despite being ranked ninth in the statewide coaches’ poll (the Bobcats held off fourth-seeded, eighth-ranked Warwick on Tuesday).

當然，鬥牛犬遠非唯一的例子，即在地區季后賽階段造成的無情力量破壞。在足球賽季中，最終5A州冠軍麥克德維特主教是其自己3區的第六個種子，因為十字軍損失了兩次損失6a。在男孩的排球中，儘管在全州教練的民意測驗中排名第九，但YAIAA冠軍東北地區在D3-3A平局中排名第13（山貓週二排名第四，排名第八的沃里克）。

In most instances, the district’s power rankings — which weight teams’ record and strength of schedule by classification — produce reasonably fair brackets. Lacrosse is often an exception. Twin Valley’s girls won last year’s 2A district title as the No. 7 seed before reaching the state final. This year’s Raiders, widely regarded as the second-best PIAA 2A team behind Wyomissing, are seeded fourth at districts and will face the Spartans in Thursday’s semifinals. Similarly, District 3-3A boys’ tournament favorites Manheim Township and Wilson are on the same side of the draw after taking three of their four combined losses against District 1 foes.

在大多數情況下，該地區的權力排名（通過分類，體重團隊的記錄和計劃的力量）產生了相當合理的括號。曲棍網兜球通常是一個例外。在進入州決賽之前，Twin Valley的女孩贏得了去年的2A區冠軍，成為7號种子。今年的突襲者隊被廣泛認為是僅次於懷俄明州的第二好的Piaa 2A球隊，在地區排名第四，將在周四的半決賽中面對斯巴達人。同樣，3-3A區的男孩錦標賽最愛曼海姆鎮和威爾遜在對1區敵人的四個總損失中的三個損失中的三個之後處於平局的同一邊。

On the other side of the coin are teams like Dallastown, and stellar seasons cut down by a buzz saw. The Wildcats didn’t fold after falling behind
