District 2’s only unbeaten field hockey team and two defending champions have landed top seeds.
Unbeaten Wyoming Valley Conference Division 1 champion Wyoming Area is the top seed and has the only quarterfinal bye in the District 2 Class A tournament, which otherwise opens Tuesday.
Defending champion Crestwood and WVC Division 2 champion Dallas are seeded 1-1 in the District 2-4 Class 2A Subregional, which gets the field hockey postseason underway with four Monday games.
Wyoming Valley West, another defending champion, leads the four-team field in District 2 Class 3A, which begins with semifinal action Wednesday.
Wyoming Area received its bye in Class A when Holy Redeemer opted not to participate after finishing the regular season with a 3-14 record.
Lackawanna Trail won the Class A title last year, beating Wyoming Area in overtime, then advanced all the way to the state final. Wyoming Area had reached the state final the year before.
