It’s no secret that, in the 2015-16 season, District 1 basketball has experienced an impeccable level of parity. As the playoff push began, it became clear that there were at least ten or twelve teams that could easily have cut down the nets at the Liacouras Center as district champions.
A bulk of that group was teams that haven’t been known for their success across the scape of district one history–No. 3 Downingtown West, No. 7 Central Bucks West, No. 8 Strath Haven, and No. 10 Phoenixville, and No. 12 Spring-Ford have all burst on the scene in the last few years.
However, when the dust settled and four teams emerged as semifinalists, those teams fell by the wayside, leaving four programs that have been there and done that in the district playoffs to fight for the title at Temple.
