Statewide results for all teams and classes so far-- HERE
Coudersport Falcons
-they were the last hope for this year
3/9/08, All the undefeated teams are gone, Coudersport
lost to Kennedy Catholic 58-43, story HERE
3/1/08, They defeated Homer Center 70-40 and are now the "last team
standing." The state's only undefeated team remaining in the playoffs.
2/5/08, boys, 21-0. According to the District 9
website (http://www.d9sports.com),
Coudersport leads the district in scoring with 1420 points, an average of 67.6
per game. They defeated Northern Potter 84-44 on Feb 5. Their
closest game was a 57-56 overtime win at St. Mary's on Dec 14th. In this
game, "St. Marys led 26-22 and was inbounding the ball from under its own
hoop when a St. Mary's player, Matt Guido got disoriented after receiving
the inbounds pass and laid the ball up for a 2-point basket. Unfortunately for
Guido, it was the wrong basket giving Coudersport two points and cutting the
Dutch lead to 26-24 at halftime." Coudersport sent
the game to overtime when Derek Burdick hit a 3-pointer with four seconds left
tying the game at 49 and then outscored St. Mary's 8-7 in the extra period. (Credit:

So as it stands now, eliminate the Guido basket and maybe Coudersport would not
be on this list!

2/22/08, The Berks champion and top-seeded Red Knights
(29-0), who matched their best start in school history, set by the Donyell
Marshall-led 1990-91 squad, face third-seeded Central Dauphin East (24-5) for
the district title Saturday at the Giant Center at 1 p.m. (Credit:

2/24/08, The Reading Red Knights used three second-quarter 3-pointers to build
the lead they would keep to win the championship 63-51 over East before 3,953
in Hershey. "We had to beat a Mid-Penn team to get a little bit of
respect," Reading coach Richard Reyes said. "They battle night in and night
out. I think we earned our stripes here." It was the 18th District 3 title for
Reading (30-0). (Roxanne Moses, Patriot News)
2/11/08, the Abington Heights
Lady Comets finished off a perfect
regular season last week with wins over Scranton and Scranton Prep, finishing a
perfect run that saw it start the regular season and finish it at No. 1. The
Lady Comets also are the state’s top-ranked team in Class AAAA, according to the
Harrisburg Patriot-News poll. Dunmore (23-1) remains No. 2, it’s only loss
this season was in the final of the Lynett tournament to Abington Heights. (Scranton
Times-Tribune)
2/22/08, The state’s top-ranked Class AAAA girls team, Abington Heights, will
face its nemesis, Scranton, for the third time this season on Saturday. The game
will be played at 1 p.m. at Carbondale Area High School. (Scranton
Times-Tribune)
2/25/08, Abington Heights now at 25-1 must face Downingtown East, who ended the
undefeated season of Methacton. East could send the Comets home
early!
3/1/08, yes Downingtown East did send the Comets home early, 36-30.
2/10/08, The unbeaten
Monessen Lady
Greyhound girls' basketball team should be well rested when it plays
Friday or Saturday in the WPIAL playoffs against Geibel or Monaca. As
expected, the Lady Greyhounds didn't get much of a workout in a 67-24
first-round romp over young California Friday in the Charleroi gym. Monessen
stands at 24-0. In their last three meetings, Monessen has outscored California,
209-48. (Credit: Brian Herman, The Valley Independent)
2/21/08, In a late-game surge Wednesday against Vincentian in the semifinals.
senior Christina Chukwuedo scored five points in the final 20 seconds to push
Monessen to a 48-45 win and stand at 26-0. If Monessen wins tomorrow, the
Greyhounds will become only the 10th girls' team in the past 20 years to earn a
WPIAL crown with an undefeated record. The last team to do it was Avonworth,
which rolled to the 2004-05 WPIAL Class AA title with a 23-0 mark.

2/9/08, The Methacton Lady
Warriors finished at 24-0 and a 15-0 American Conference
schedule record. The Norristown school at 1001 Kriebel Mill Road now
prepares for the playoffs. Their school website boasts of "Methacon
Pride!"-but it only mentions the Winter Track team and says nothing
about their undefeated girls basketball team. This qualifies the Methacton
girls for the Rodney Dangerfield (We get no
respect!) Award. Undefeated, and yet maybe overlooked. (Record

2/22/08, Methacton: 28-0, ranked No. 4 in Southeastern
Pennsylvania by The Inquirer. Downingtown East: 26-1, ranked No. 3.
They play tonight's 7 o'clock final at Villanova's Pavilion in a rematch of last
year's second-round district playoff, which Downingtown East won by a 39-32
score. (Credit: Philadelphia Inquirer)
2/25/08, The District 1 final was postponed from Friday night due to the
weather, creating a Class AAAA final doubleheader Sunday afternoon. In the first
game, the Methacton girls team saw its undefeated mark fall, as well, losing to
top-seeded Downingtown East, 41-39. (Tom Kerrane,
Norristown Times Herald).
2/3/08,
Norristown boys defeated CB West 63-38 which wrapped up a 24-0 regular
season. They are the second team in District One Class AAAA in the
last three years to have a 24-0 regular season. Plymouth Whitemarsh had also
done it two years ago. Norristown, meanwhile, figures to be the district's
No. 2 or No. 3 seed behind Chester, which played a tougher schedule despite
having one loss, but still should be No. 1. Pennsbury, which also has one
defeat, should also be in the mix for the No. 2 seed.

the Rodney Dangerfield (We get no respect!) of District One basketball,
undefeated but ranked third.
2/22/08, Norristown (28-0) and Chester meet tonight, the top-ranked
Chester team has won six consecutive district championships and, yes, the
Clippers are ranked sixth nationally by USA Today. But Norristown, ranked No. 4
in Southeastern Pennsylvania by The Inquirer, is being compared to the 1990
Eagles squad that went 27-2 and won the District 1 title.

2/25/08, For the seventh straight year, the Clippers cut down the nets
Sunday, handing Norristown its first loss of the season in the district final,
61-47, at the Pavilion at Villanova University. The next part of the
journey, the state tournament, will open for Norristown at 2:30 p.m. on
Saturday at Council Rock North, when the Eagles will take on the fourth-place
team from the Philadelphia Public League. That opponent will be determined
today when Roxborough plays Bartram. (Tom Kerrane,
Norristown Times Herald).
Eliminated:
2/6/08, Central Mountain Lady Wildcats
girls, tied the school record for most wins by a basketball program with 22 with
a 48-38 victory over Bellefonte. Friday they lost to State College 66-55.
Central Mountain (22-3), closed its season with three straight losses, two
to State College, the last one 46-39 in overtime. Their final record was
22-3 with 22 straight wins until 2/6/08.

2/5/08, Woodland Hills scored 17 of the final 21 points to notch a 66-53
non-section girls' basketball win at Class AAAA No. 2
Norwin last night. Norwin was trying to become the only WPIAL school,
boys or girls, to finish the regular season undefeated. The Knights played
without its starting point guard Nicky Costabile (knee injury). Norwin
finished 23-1. It was the last game of the regular season. (Credit:
