Phoenixville 10, Pottstown 2
For Phoenixville, the 2026 season may not have been perfect – but it was pretty dang close. The Phantoms (13-0-5 overall, 11-0-2 PAC) wrapped up the regular season without a single loss on Wednesday against visiting Pottstown, scoring double-digit goals for the second time this season and depositing at least six goals for the seventh time in 18 contests.

Led by the duo of senior Alpha Sangare and sophomore Andrew Illig, who have produced goals in bunches all season, defending PAC champ Phoenixville is one of just three unbeaten District 1-4A teams, along with No. 1 Conestoga and No. 2 Lower Merion. The Phantoms are set to take on Spring-Ford in the PAC semifinals on Oct. 20.

Logan Sharrock’s goal less than three minutes into the contest set the tone for things to come, as OJR ran away with a critical victory that secured the team a spot in next week’s PAC playoffs. Rocky Martin doubled the lead shortly before halftime, and AJ Blackburn and Micah Suessmuth finished the job with additional tallies for the Wildcats (9-6-2, 8-3-2 PAC). OJR, which won its third consecutive game, will join Phoenixville, Spring-Ford and Upper Perkiomen in the PAC Final Four, which will kick off on Oct. 20 at the team’s home field in Bucktown.
And while Perk Valley (8-5-4, 6-4-3) fell short of the league playoffs, the Vikings do sit at No. 20 in the District 1-4A rankings with one game remaining at Haverford on Saturday morning. The top 28 teams in 4A qualify for the postseason.
