Top-seeded Conestoga, Cocalico and Manheim Township on the boys side and Owen J. Roberts, Northwestern Lehigh and Strath Haven on the girls side were all knocked out in the early rounds of District playoffs last week, leaving the door open for lower seeds to fight for district crowns this week.
Conestoga fell to Council Rock North 1-0 last Thursday, which gave Unionville the opportunity to host a quarterfinal as the 9th seed on Saturday.

They’ll face fourth-seeded Abington while second-seeded Spring-Ford will host the sixth-seeded Central Bucks West after beating Radnor 2-1 on Saturday.
