I think it’s the best possible draw Ford City could have received. They got the fourth seed, so that tells me their defensive stats impressed the committee. They’re much better off than the second and third seeds. They’ll play the winner of Seton LaSalle and Mt. Pleasant, probably Seton LaSalle. Aliquippa is in their half of the bracket and should easily get to the semi-final. Again there are no powerhouses or top college recruits in double-AA this season, and it should be a very competitive playoffs. If there was ever a year Ford City was going to get to Heinz Field, it’s this year. Finally Freeport will play at Jeannette, a game they should be happy to get.
