Springfield knew that, had it lost Wednesday, it still had one more game in the District One Class AAA bracket. Archbishop Carroll didn't have that luxury.

But both took care of business in the respective brackets.

Springfield knocked off Octorara, 46-44, at West Chester East. The Cougars move into the district final Saturday against Holy Ghost Prep.

Carroll had to erase an eight-point deficit late to beat Simon Gratz, 48-43, at Archbishop Ryan. A win helps the Patriots stave off elimination, by winning District 12's No. 3 seed and move into states to try to defend their state crown.

That's it for now. More to come later...
