Highlights:In the District 3-AA championship game at Hersheypark Stadium, Jeff Turner tapped home the floating game-winner off a through ball from Matt Geidner with 5:10 to play, and the Tigers (24-1) won their first District 3 championship since 1992.
It is Fleetwood's 11th district championship in all, the most in Berks County, and breaks a string of four straight defeats in district finals.
Turner had two goals for the Tigers, who jumped to a 2-0 lead before Jaime Vazquez and Cody Hess evened things up for the Trojans (20-3), setting up the match's dramatic finale.
Fleetwood, which also won this fall's county title, will face District 2 runner-up Coughlin to open the state tournament Tuesday night at 6 p.m. at Exeter.
Tulpehocken opens PIAA-AA play against District 2 champion Abington Heights Tuesday night, site and time to be determined.
