Four Pocono softball teams make the 2026 district playoffs. Check out the brackets
The District 11 softball tournament is here, and there are four Pocono area teams across two classifications that will compete for a chance at the state tournament.
One of those teams in the 5A classification as Pocono Mountain East (10-10, 8-8 EPC) will be a 3-seed heading down to Patriots Park in Allentown to face 2-seed Bangor (13-7). The winner of that semifinal will face the winner of 1-seed Southern Lehigh and 4-seed Pottsville.
The other three teams are in the 6A bracket, including two that’ll have to play their way into the 8-team bracket. Pocono Mountain West, coming off its best regular season ever (10-10, 7-9 EPC) will be a 10-seed traveling to play 7-seed Liberty in Bethlehem. And East Stroudsburg South (10-11, 10-6 EPC) will host a play-in game, welcoming 9-seed Parkland to East Stroudsburg.
EPC Monroe Division Champions and tournament runner-up Stroudsburg (18-5, 13-3 EPC) will host a quarterfinal game as a 3-seed, hosting 6-seed Whitehall, which the Mounties defeated 4-1 in the regular season.
