District 2 of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association posted its official basketball playoff brackets on its website late Sunday morning, setting up three doubleheaders in the quarterfinals.
Over the next 36 hours, the district made several adjustments to starting times. Among the changes has been the creation of a semifinal doubleheader at Hazleton Area with District 2-4 Class 6A Subregional games in girls at 5 and boys at 7 on Saturday.
The bracket announcements confirmed the pairings posted on NEPABasketball.com shortly after midnight following the conclusion of Saturday games that could impact the ratings used to determine seedings.
Dunmore will host a doubleheader Tuesday while Dallas and Mid Valley will host doubleheaders Wednesday because their teams play in different classifications and therefore end up on the same night together. All six teams earned home courts with their district playoff power ratings.
Dunmore will face Berwick in Class 4A girls at 6 and Wyoming Seminary in Class 3A boys at 7:30 Tuesday.
Dallas will play Crestwood in Class 5A girls and Honesdale in Class 4A boys at 6 and 7:30 Wednesday.
Mid Valley will take on Lakeland in Class 3A girls and Lake-Lehman in Class 4A boys in a doubleheader with the same starting times.
The Hazleton Area boys moved their Saturday home semifinal to 7 p.m. and the girls followed moving from Friday at 7 to Saturday at 5, making it a District 2-4 Class 6A Subregional semifinal doubleheader. Hazleton Area hosts Scranton at 5 p.m. in a girls game, then Williamsport at 7 in the boys game.
The pairings, along with the latest staring times, as of late Monday:
