2A MAC Final Standings
With the last week now in the books, below are the teams that will represent the 2A Classification in playoffs. The top 4 teams from each conference are selected and seeded based upon record, conference record, and the WPIAL committee. Below are the teams that have clinched.
Allegheny: Shady Side Academy, Steel Valley, Avonworth, East Allegheny
Interstate: Washington, Charleroi, McGuffey, Beth-Center
Midwestern: Freedom, Mohawk, New Brighton, Riverside
Three Rivers: Burgettstown, South Side Beaver, Serra Catholic, Seton LaSalle
Based upon those teams making it into playoffs, here is a quick prediction (Monday will be selection night) of where the teams will be seeded based upon the regular season play, ranked in order from left to right.
#1 Seeds: Shady Side Academy (9-0), Burgettstown (9-0), Washington (9-1), Mohawk (8-2)

#4 Seeds: Beth-Center (7-3), Riverside (6-3), East Allegheny (6-4), Seton LaSalle (5-5)
The WPIAL committee reserves the right to rank the teams after the conference champions (or conference leaders) in any order they like (i.e. Riverside could be a 3 seed over New Brighton even though New Brighton beat Riverside based upon both teams record).
