Traditional powers look to add to their crowded championship trophy cases.

There are four District 2 final games set for Week 12. Seven of the eight finalists have double-digit appearances in championship games since 1992, when the District 2 playoffs began.

Competing in a championship game against a District 2 opponent would be designated a district final. Several teams won subregional finals, but those are not considered district title games.

Lackawanna Trail (10-1) will host Tri-Valley (7-4) in the District 2-11 Class 1A subregional final Friday at 7 p.m. That is not considered a District 2 championship game.

When Dunmore (8-3) plays at Lakeland (10-1) in the District 2 Class 2A final Friday at 7 p.m., it brings together two teams that have a combined 34 appearances in district championship games.

Dunmore has a record of 13-7, and Lakeland is 7-7. It will also be the seventh time the Bucks and Chiefs go head-to-head for the gold. They split the previous six meetings, with Dunmore winning in 1999, 2009 and 2016. Lakeland won in 2003, 2004 and 2022.

The District 2 Class 5A participants are regular players in the championship finals. Delaware Valley (6-5) is at Abington Heights (9-2) on Friday at 7 p.m. at the Abington Heights High School Athletic Complex.

Delaware Valley will make its 13th appearance in a championship final. The Warriors are 9-3 in those title games. Abington Heights is in its 12th final, and has a record of 8-3.

This season marks the third straight that Delaware Valley and Abington Heights will play for the District 2 Class 5A championship.

In Class 3A, Scranton Prep (6-5), which has dominated the classification since the PIAA moved to six classifications from four, plays at Berwick (11-0) on Friday at 7 p.m.

Berwick is making its 16th appearance in a district final and its first since 2017. The Bulldogs are historically the most successful team in District 2 with six PIAA titles (1988, 1992, 1995, 1996, 1997).

Scranton Prep has ruled Class 3A since 2015. The Cavaliers make their 11th championship game appearance, 10th in 11 seasons, and are 8-2 all-time.

Dallas (6-5) plays at North Pocono (11-0) on Friday at 7 p.m. Dallas is in a district championship game for the 11th time overall and has a record of 5-5. The Mountaineers are 3-4 all-time against teams from the Lackawanna Football Conference.

North Pocono is the newcomer. The Trojans make their fifth appearance in a final, and they have a record of 2-2. Their wins came in 1993 against Wallenpaupack, 20-12, and in 2016 against Berwick, 21-6.

Record breaker

Lackawanna Trail senior running back Isaac Ryon continued his record-setting season in the District 2-11 Class 1A semifinal win over Nativity BVM.

On only 10 carries, Ryon ran for 212 yards and scored six touchdowns. That gave him a school-record 2,312 yards on 145 carries for a 15.9 yards per carry average. He broke the Lackawanna Trail single-season rushing record of former all-state running back Richard Jackson, who had 2,265 yards in 2000.

In his last two games, Ryon has 582 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns on 23 carries.

Ryon is now in pursuit of LIAA records.

His 2,312 yards rank eighth all-time for a single season. Honesdale graduate Terrin Ash has the LIAA record with 2,669 yards in 1992 while playing in the Suburban Conference. Old Forge’s Brendan Yescavage has the LFC record with 2,666 yards in 2013 when he helped lead the Blue Devils to the PIAA Class 1A final.

Ryon also has 39 rushing touchdowns and 44 touchdowns overall. Yescavage has the LIAA records with 44 rushing touchdowns and 46 overall touchdowns in 2013.

With his four 2-point conversion runs, four kicking extra points and two field goals, Ryon has 282 points this season. Yescavage has the LIAA record with 288 points in 2013.

Threes are wild

In the semifinals, three No. 3 seeds upset the second-seeded team on the road to advance to a District 2 championship game.

Third-seeded Delaware Valley beat Pittston Area, 7-6, in Class 5A. It was the second straight season the Warriors beat Pittston Area in the semifinals.

In Class 4A, Dallas defeated Valley View, 17-0, to reach a third straight final.

Dunmore beat Riverside, 27-7, to advance to the Class 2A final. The Bucks also avenged a loss to Riverside from Week 1 in a rematch from the regular season in this season’s semifinals. Berwick beat Hanover Area, 49-6, in the other rematch. The Bulldogs beat Hanover Area, 56-19, in Week 5.

This week, Dunmore gets another chance to exact some revenge when it plays Lakeland. In Week 6, the Bucks lost to Lakeland, 28-14.

Abington Heights will look to turn around an outcome against Delaware Valley. The Comets lost to Delaware Valley, 28-14, in Week 6. That was also the first of four games Abington Heights played without starting quarterback Nick Bradley, the program’s all-time leader in career passing yards (5,651) and passing touchdowns (62).

North Pocono defeated Dallas, 35-14, in Week 6. Since that game, Dallas has five straight wins. Cole West had five receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown, and Joe Briskie, who is out for the season with an injury, had 110 yards and three touchdowns against the Mountaineers in the first meeting.

The District 2-4 Class 6A final will also be a rematch. Williamsport (6-5) is at Wilkes-Barre Area (7-4) on Friday at 7 p.m. In the regular-season finale, Williamsport defeated the Wolfpack, 28-21.
