Pottsgrove sure took the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division out of its postseason calculations.

The exciting 42-28 win over Perkiomen Valley last Friday night clinched the No. 1 seed in the District 1-Class AAA playoffs for the Falcons. That means regardless of the outcome of this Friday’s game at Phoenixville, they’ll begin their drive for a second straight district championship at home in two weeks.

Exactly who the Falcons play, well, that’s entirely new puzzle district officials won’t have finalized until sometime Saturday or Sunday.

Going into this weekend, the unbeaten Falcons (9-0) top the AAA chart that includes, from the second through eighth spots, Academy Park (8-1), Interboro (8-1), Henderson (7-2), Upper Moreland (6-3), Springfield-Delco (6-3), Phoenixville (6-3) and Strath Haven (5-4).

But the particular order of that lineup, if not even some of the names, could easily (and likely will) change.
