Five area teams have earned No. 1 seeds in the District 11 postseason.

Two of those teams, Tamaqua in baseball and Pleasant Valley in girls lacrosse, were also league champions.

The Blue Raiders earned the top seed in Class 3A baseball by capturing the Schuylkill League title. The Bears, meanwhile, won their third straight Eastern Pennsylvania Conference championship and will be the No. 1 seeded team in 3A girls lacrosse.

The others who are on top of their respective brackets include Marian baseball in Class 1A, Northwestern baseball in Class 3A and Palmerton softball in Class 3A.

Northwestern’s softball team also won a league title, but finished below Schuylkill League champion Blue Mountain in the ratings and will be seeded second in Class 4A.

Pleasant Valley’s softball team will be playing for an EPC championship today, but seedings have already been determined so a victory would not improve their ranking.

Lacrosse playoffs began late last week with quarterfinals matchups, while the baseball and softball postseason begin today with first round games.
