The usual blur of the regular season is over and it's already time for the 2024 PIAA playoffs to begin for high school football teams in Bucks County and Eastern Montgomery County?

Unless your team plays on Thanksgiving (unfortunately, so few do anymore), it's either win in the playoffs or your season is over.

With that in mind, let's take a look at some of the best playoff matchups (along with the rest of the weekend schedule) as we put the regular season behind us.

PIAA District One Class 6A first round

(14) Pennsbury (5-5) at (3) Central Bucks West (8-2), Friday, 7 p.m.

The Falcons needed a win last week over archrival Neshaminy to qualify for the 16-team tournament and they delivered in a big way by scoring a touchdown with less than three minutes to go and then going for the 2-point conversion, and making it on linebacker Walker Murray's first carry of the season, to earn a wild 22-21 win.

The victory set up a rematch of their Suburban One League National Conference matchup against the Bucks from earlier this month, which was won by CB West 27-6.

In that game, the Bucks, who topped archrival CB East 35-7 last week in their regular-season finale, used a 21-point second quarter to pull away.

Senior running back Ryan Clemens scored on a 77-yard receiving touchdown from senior quarterback Noah Miller in the win and Clemens also added a pair of field goals.

The Falcons' lone score came early in the fourth quarter on a short touchdown run from junior Jordan Brensinger.

Up next: The winner will face the winner of (6) Perkiomen Valley/(11) Downingtown East in the quarterfinals. The loser will be eliminated.

(16) Spring-Ford (4-6) at (1) Central Bucks South (10-0), Friday, 7 p.m.

It's been a heck of an encore season for the Titans after winning their first PIAA District One Class 6A title last season.

They enter the postseason undefeated and top-seeded and have allowed the fewest points (71) of any Class 6A team in the state.

Fifth-seed Haverford High, which hosts 12th-seeded Quakertown in the first round, is the second-stingiest team in Class 6A in the state as the Fords have surrendered 92 points in their 10 games.

Last week, CB South dispatched Pennridge 34-6 as senior linebacker/running back Jim Wade led the way with a 44-yard touchdown run and an interception return for a touchdown on defense.

A year ago, in the district quarterfinals, the Titans ended Spring-Ford's season with a 35-19 win.

The Rams were dealt a tough break early in the season when senior quarterback Matt Zollers, a University of Missouri commit, was lost for the year in Week Four with an ankle injury.

Since then, Spring-Ford has gone 3-3 and is coming off a 42-17 loss to Pottsgrove, the eighth seed in the Class 5A tournament.

Up next: The winner will face the winner of (8) Plymouth Whitemarsh/(9) Souderton in the quarterfinals. The loser will be eliminated.

PIAA District One Class 2A championship

(2) New Hope-Solebury (2-8) at (1) Bristol (7-1), Friday, 6 p.m.

When these two met in Week Two of the season the story was the Warriors defense as they forced five fumbles, recovering four of them, on the way to a convincing 42-7 win.

Bristol senior defensive lineman Styles Collier had a big game against the Lions as he recorded a sack and had a fumble recovery (along with batting down a pass) in the win.

The Warriors led just 13-7 at the half, but put the game away with a pair of third-quarter touchdowns.

Last week, New Hope-Solebury notched an impressive 22-21 win over Class 4A Lower Moreland (6-4), which faces Pope John Paul II in district semifinals (also on Friday).

The Warriors also had a big win last week as they rallied for a 25-14 victory over archrival Morrisville in a game they trailed 14-0.

Bristol junior quarterback Brady Slate threw for a touchdown and ran for a score in the win.

Up next: The winner will face the winner of Lansdale Catholic/Kipp DuBois in the District One/District 12 title game on Nov. 8. Whether they win or lose here, the Warriors will face Morrisville on Thanksgiving.

PIAA District One Class A championship

(2) Jenkintown (5-4) at (1) Morrisville (8-2), Friday, 7 p.m.

These two met just three weeks ago in the regular season with the Bulldogs picking up a 27-14 victory as senior quarterback Ky'iere Rankins led the way with three touchdown passes.

In that game, though, Morrisville was without standout senior running back Raymond Holman, who had an illness.

Last week, Holman became the school's all-time leading rusher with 3,959 yards after running for 89 yards on 15 carries in a 25-14 loss to Bristol in a game the Bulldogs led 14-0.

If the Bulldogs win here, they'll claim their second straight PIAA District One Class A title, something they've never accomplished.

The Drakes, after back-to-back losses to Morrisville and Bristol, thumped winless Renaissance Academy 61-0 last week. Morrisville played Renaissance Academy twice during the regular season, recording wins of 68-0 and 46-0.

Up next: The winner will face Belmont Charter in the District One/District 12 title game on Nov. 8. Whether it wins or loses here, Morrisville will face Bristol on Thanksgiving.

PIAA District 12 Class 3A championship

Neumann-Goretti (4-5) at Conwell-Egan (6-3), Friday, 5 p.m.

The Eagles come into this one with a four-game winning streak (and having won five of their last six), including a 14-0 blanking of the Saints three weeks ago.

In the win over Neumann-Goretti, junior defensive lineman Chase Walters had a huge game with four sacks and eight tackles, leading a defense that allowed the Saints just 96 yards of total offense.

Offensively, the Eagles piled up 230 yards of offense against Neumann-Goretti as senior running back Sincer Fairey ran for a pair of touchdowns.

Last week, the Eagles edged Archbishop Wood 14-13 while Neumann-Goretti topped Lansdale Catholic, 16-9.

Up next: The winner will face the winner of Simon Gratz/High School of the Future in the District 12 title game on Nov. 8. The loser will be eliminated.
