District 5A Playoff Picture

Windber and Northern Bedford have secured the top 2 seeds in the playoffs and will host district semifinal games.  4 teams make the playoff field.  The teams most likely to get the other two spots are Shade and Meyersdale.  North Star also appears to have a shot.

Windber and NB have tough schedules coming up.  Windber plays Berlin and a top 3 Heritage team.  If they beat Berlin they probably play Homer or LV.  If they lose to Berlin they probably have Purchase Line, but that isn't set it stone either. NB plays Claysburg, Mount Union, and Bellwood.

Shade and Meyersdale are both likely to be 4-5 heading into their week 10 game.  North Star is very likely to be 3-5.  That could lead to NS having a more winnable crossover game.  If all three teams finished 4-5, tiebreakers would happen, and I'm not sure how they would all work. 

NS beat Shade. 
Shade beat Mey.
Mey beat NS.
