That was more like it.Coming off a tough Week 9 performance in Sharpsville, Linesville quarterback Trevor Litwiler rushed for two touchdowns and passed for five as the Lions closed the regular season with a 49-8 final over backyard rival Conneaut Lake (1-9 overall, 0-9 Region 1) on Friday.

That became quite clear Thursday during the District 10 Class AA quarterfinals at Meadville High School’s House of Thrills.Unpredictable, however, was just fine by General McLane and Meadville, who needed the bare minimum to decide their fate in Saturday’s semifinal round back at the House of Thrills. That wasn’t the case on the other side of the bracket.

The Bulldogs (4-5) take on non-region opponent Strong Vincent (7-2) in a 7 p.m. kickoff.It’s been seven years since Meadville has gotten the better of the Colonels. The last time the ’Dogs defeated Vincent was all the way back in 2001.

There are plenty of scores to be settled in volleyball and it all begins today at the House of Thrills.The District 10 Class AA tournament opens with pool play at Meadville Area Senior High at 4 p.m. Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:22:00 +0000 http://www.meadvilletribune.com/sports/local_story_308232312.html http://www.meadvilletribune.com/sports/local_story_308232312.html Cochranton put itself in quite a precarious situation last season when a loss to Saegertown pit the Cardinals against rival Maplewood in the District 10 Class A semifinals.The Cards wound up losing to the Tigers in a classic ending their chance at a record-tying fifth straight District 10 title and a trip to the PIAA state playoffs.

However, a closer look at the competition, and perhaps it will not be as easy as perceived.
