North Pocono had just nine wins over the last two seasons. The Trojans hadn’t won a District 2 Class 4A football championship since 2016.

Yet, they were considered the best hope to end the stranglehold three teams had over the title the past eight seasons.

One of those teams was Dallas, which won the championship in 2019 and 2023 and played for the crown last year. The Mountaineers (6-5) return to the title game again when they play at North Pocono (11-0) at 7 p.m. Friday.

North Pocono’s last trip to the D2-4A championship was 2021 when the Trojans lost 42-7 to Valley View. Their only district championship came the year the PIAA expanded from four to six classifications in football.

Dallas’ last two district titles resulted in trips to the PIAA Class 4A state championship games.
