Baseball, softball, boys volleyball and boys lacrosse are all on the schedule making, Tuesday the busiest day of a week full of playoff activity in District 2 sports.
The baseball and softball games are all playoff openers for the teams involved. Boys volleyball and boys lacrosse playoffs got underway last week and are down to the semifinal round.
Wyoming Valley Conference champion Holy Redeemer, the top seed, is pursuing a 10th straight district title. The Royals host fifth-seeded Blue Ridge, which will be looking for a second straight road playoff win after beating Western Wayne in the quarterfinals, in a District 1-2-11 Class 2A Subregional semifinal.
Tunkhannock is at Dock Mennonite from District 1.
If Holy Redeemer and Dock Mennonite both win, it would set up a rematch of the only Holy Redeemer loss this season.
Top-seed Delaware Valley hosts Wyoming Valley West and Lackawanna League champion Abington Heights hosts Hazleton Area in the District 2 Class 3A semifinals.
