Downingtown West hosts Penncrest tonight for both team’s final game of the regular season. Both teams have secured a place in the playoffs; however this game determines which seed the two teams earn, ninth or tenth.
The two squads have excelled this season. Downingtown have built up a 23-5 record, with an impressive 11-out-of-12 wins within the conference. The Lions, at 17-11, have had a relatively even record within the conference at 9-10.
The Whippets have won their last two contests, the most recent of which was a 70-63 win over rivals Coatesville. Ryan Betley is coming off a 31-point performance, a night when everything was falling for the junior guard.
Penncrest is coming off a 49-37 victory over Academy Park, giving the Lions a couple of consecutive wins. Senior Nolan Carroll is coming off a string of good games. The guard scored 23 points against Academy, shooting 6-of-7 from beyond the arch.
The winner earns the ninth seed and a probably matchup against PCL and District 12 champions, Roman Catholic, ranked 14th in the DigitalSports National Basketball Rankings. A loss gives the team the tenth seed and a game against District 3 runner-up Cedar Valley.
The opening tipoff is tonight at 7:00 as Downingtown West and Penncrest go head-to-head.
