Fort Cherry boys basketball is heading somewhere they’ve not been in more than 60 years. Not since the 1961 state championship run, captained by Marty Schottenheimer, have the Rangers reached the PIAA quarterfinals. Saturday afternoon, at Peters Township and on the WJPA Sports Network, that drought ends. Fort Cherry will face Jeannette in the 2A Boys quarters with only the winner advancing. We’ll have the game on WJPA-FM (95.3) and online with video available via the NFHS Network (subscription required). Upper St. Clair plays Central York Saturday in the 6A boys third round. Friday night, Moon Area pulled away from Bethel Park late in the third to advance to the 5A boys semifinals. Moon & USC both won WPIAL titles two weeks ago. Click PIAA Brackets
