Despite 2-5 Record, Sachems Make Division 3 North Playoffs

Winchester will face top-seeded and unbeaten Lynn English Saturday.

We can debate the presence of a 2-5 team in the playoffs at a later date. All that matters today is that Winchester is in as the No. 8 seed and will face unbeaten No. 1 Lynn English Saturday at 2 p.m. at Manning Field in Lynn.

Give the Sachems credit. They overcame injuries and illnesses and beat rival Reading Saturday for the first time since 2007. The spoils of the win is a shot against English.

Here's a look at the Division 3 North field:
