PSAL A PLAYOFFS

For the early years of the PSAL the playoff information I have compiled thru research mainly focuses on the quarterfinals to the finals. Unfortunately there is missing info in some cases. In 1939-40 the six division winners advanced to the city-wide playoffs. 2 received byes straight to the semis.
