长曲棍球：第1号种子达拉斯敦女孩跌至3区3A级四分之一决赛中的Wilson排名第8

达拉斯敦女子曲棍球教练乔·亚历克斯（Joe Alex）知道，在托架释放括号之前，他的团队在3区3A级季后赛中会面临艰巨的平局。

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.

达拉斯敦女子曲棍球队知道，在托架释放括号之前，这将在3区3A级季后赛中面临艰巨的平局。

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.

野猫队以不败的记录赢得了头号种子，但他们的奖励是周二8号种子威尔逊的四分之一决赛。牛头犬是一个多年生的强国，已经达到了最近七场地区冠军赛中的五场，其中包括2024年半决赛中达拉斯敦的15个进球赛。

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.

背靠背的约克 - 亚当斯联赛冠军进行了一场战斗，并保持领先，只是威尔逊在第一和第二季度初能够控制。在一个半小时的时间内，达拉斯敦以前的完美赛季在15-7失利之后结束了。

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.

在今年的头两个月零18场比赛中，野猫队从来没有失去赛后的hud。亚历克斯（Alex）从来没有谈论过弹跳下一场比赛，现在，达拉斯敦（Dallastown）及其11名老年人没有更多的比赛。由于不幸的抽奖，野猫队本质上不会返回州比赛。

“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.”

亚历克斯谈到威尔逊时说：“他们是一支出色的球队。这真是一个奇特的人，他们确实是8种子。” “我认为他们正在为州冠军做准备，但这将他们推向了地区排名，并搞砸了一些事情（季后赛）。但这就是事实。您必须跳上您面前的障碍。”

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.

形成后，第3-3A区女子曲棍球支架破坏了。三届卫冕冠军曼海姆镇（Manheim Township）是第三名的种子，尽管蓝色条纹（周二击败宾夕法尼亚州庄园22-3）将在达拉斯敦（Dallastown）和第二名坎伯兰山谷（Cumberland Valley）（也不康复的第二周）被威尔逊（Wilson）和亨普菲尔德（Hempfield）击败后，将有主场优势向前迈进。第四个半决赛选手是第4种种子的新牛津，本赛季两次输给了达拉斯敦，其中包括两周前在Yaiaa季后赛仅四分之三的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.”

亚历克斯说：“每个人都知道谁是谁，你开始观看这些括号，看看事情的进展……但是你不能被它分散注意力。” “您必须一次参加一场比赛。直到今晚，前18个（游戏）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.

威尔逊周二的胜利提高到14-7。牛头犬队以4-4的成绩以四重奏的损失为第1区的坚定损失（两个进球是一个进球），他们在统治D3-2A决赛选手Twin Valley和Wyomissing的一场比赛中进行了一球战，然后再次输给了Berks县季后赛的Twin Valley。随着杰西·富勒顿（Jess Fullerton）的团队连续第八次出现PIAA的比赛，艰难挑战的时间表的课程正在付出红利。

“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.”

富勒顿说：“我认为这只是使我们变得更加坚强。” “每次输掉时，我们都会退后一步，哀悼一天，然后我们有24小时的规则。在那之后，我们将其扔掉，我们只是继续前进，看看我们如何作为一个团队建立，看看我们是否可以赢得下一个。”

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

大二学生瑞安·莱曼（Ryan Leaman）在周二为威尔逊（Wilson）打进了7个进球。 Lexi Federline带领达拉斯敦（Dallastown）带领达拉斯敦（Dallastown）进行了五个进球和两个助攻。

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).

当然，斗牛犬远非唯一的例子，即在地区季后赛阶段造成的无情力量破坏。在足球赛季中，最终5A州冠军麦克德维特主教是其自己3区的第六个种子，因为十字军损失了两次损失6a。在男孩的排球中，尽管在全州教练的民意测验中排名第九，但YAIAA冠军东北地区在D3-3A平局中排名第13（山猫周二排名第四，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.

在大多数情况下，该地区的权力排名（通过分类，体重团队的记录和计划的力量）产生了相当合理的括号。曲棍网兜球通常是一个例外。在进入州决赛之前，Twin Valley的女孩赢得了去年的2A区冠军，成为7号种子。今年的突袭者队被广泛认为是仅次于怀俄明州的第二好的Piaa 2A球队，在地区排名第四，将在周四的半决赛中面对斯巴达人。同样，3-3A区的男孩锦标赛最爱曼海姆镇和威尔逊在对1区敌人的四个总损失中的三个损失中的三个之后处于平局的同一边。

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
