All but two of the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association's football regional finals will take place Friday night, in scheduling announced yesterday.

Most of the seedings held in last weekend's regional semifinals, with only two top seeds -- previously unbeaten Wicomico in the 2A East dropping a 42-35 decision to Parkside, and Sparrows Point falling, 43-6, to Catoctin in the 1A North -- losing in the first round.

In the 3A South, Lackey, which went 8-2 in the regular season before having to forfeit three games because of the use of an ineligible player, still had enough points under the MPSSAA's point system, to make the playoffs and were seeded fourth in the region, where they knocked off Chopticon, 21-3, on the road.
