Breaking down the schedule for Week 10 of SCAC football

It's finally here. Week 10 has arrived and the final push before the District 3 playoffs begin in earnest begins now.

A handful of teams have all but locked in their postseason spots. A handful still sit on the bubble. In Class 4A, West York and Hanover refuse to budge from their perches atop the District 3 power rankings as two of the three remaining undefeated teams in the entire district.

Week 10 is when it everything gets hectic. Who gets another week? Who can finish out strong? Who has to fight to keep the postseason pipe dream alive?

Check out the previews for the top games going on around the SCAC in Week 10, as well as the complete weekend schedule for the league.

Spring Grove (7-2, 4-1 Division I) at South Western (6-3, 3-2 Division I)

The Rockets roll on to another week. They've put up three straight games with four touchdowns in wins over Red Lion, York High and Dallastown, right on the heels of their 51-14 win over New Oxford back in Week 6. Since the Rockets have gone on their four-game win streak, running back Brody Redding has put down 597 rushing yards and six touchdowns, putting him well within reach of cracking 1,000 yards before the postseason.

On the flip side, South Western has gone on its own four-game win streak, bolstered by back-to-back 17-14 wins over York High and New Oxford. Their defensive presence has carried them through the past four weeks, with players like Kyran Nock and Colton Cassetta coming up big against York High.

West York (9-0, 6-0 Division II) at Dover (8-1, 6-0 Division II)

The big one. Both teams have been building to this game all season. West York hasn't given up more than 14 points to a division opponent all season and hasn't been held under 40 points since Week 2 against Red Lion. The Bulldogs have had everything fall their way thus far, and they've held onto the lead for the Division II crown since they entered Week 4.

Still, Dover has only improved since they've gone along. They're fully intent on not repeating the same mistakes that cut them down Week 1 against Conestoga Valley. Their own offense has scored more than 40 points in four games this season, and they haven't given up more than 17 points to any SCAC team, Division II or otherwise.

Either way, the Division II crown gets handed off this week. No split winner, no shares. Winner takes it all.

Littlestown (7-2, 5-1 Division III) at Big Spring (8-1, 5-1 Division III)

Despite everything, the Division III crown is still partially in play this week. Whoever comes out on top between the Bulldogs and Bolts can potentially hold a share of the Division III title should Hanover fall to James Buchanan — the Rockets are 0-6 in division play this year.

Big Spring still has one of the most potent offenses in the league. Even if they were held scoreless in the second half last week, the Bulldogs were still in the game until the final minutes. Plus, they survived a defensive battle with Delone Catholic and dropped at least 40 points on three other division rivals.

Littlestown, meanwhile, took Hanover to overtime and only fell because of a final two-point conversion. Since then, it has won three straight and averaged over 31 points per game in that span. In fact, it's scored at least 30 points in each of its wins and has only been held under that margin twice — a 14-10 loss to Susquehannock and the overtime duel with Hanover.
