3A Week 7 is upon us quickly which means it is already time for the second season. District play begins this week, and we thought we would provide you with a brief breakdown of the district participants, the key games as we see them, and even try our hand at predicting the playoff qualifiers. Remember you can keep up-to-date with current standings and points tie-breakers on the Kpreps District Standings page.

Before we break things down by district, it’s always fun to answer the question as to which side (East or West) has the tougher path. The numbers from the first six weeks tell some of the story.
