Most girls basketball teams have two games left in section play. The top four teams in each section qualify for the WPIAL playoffs, plus any unbreakable ties. Here’s an up-to-date look at the 19 Washington & Greene County girls teams (section records):
Class 6A Peters Township (3-6) was in good shape until the current three-game losing skid. The Indians now find themselves a half-game out of the playoffs with three games to play. Canon-McMillan (1-8) staved off elimination with a win over Bethel Park earlier this week.
Class 5A Trinity (7-1) has a playoff spot in hand with games remaining against section leader South Fayette and #3 Lincoln Park.
Class 4A Ringgold (2-8) was eliminated from the playoff chase with Thursday’s setback against Uniontown.
Class 3A Waynesburg (7-1) has clinched a share of the section title and a playoff spot. Charleroi (4-4) is in fourth place, one game ahead of McGuffey (3-5). Charleroi plays winless Brownsville before hosting McGuffey. The Highlanders have to beat Yough (5-3) to have the final game of the season matter.
Class 2A Section 2 Burgettstown (8-0) has clinched a berth and will clinch at least of the section title with any win (at Brentwood, vs. Carlynton). Fort Cherry (4-4) has clinched a playoff spot.
Class 2A Section 4 Wash High (10-0) has clinched a share of the section title and a playoff berth. Chartiers-Houston (9-2), California (7-3) and Carmichaels (5-5) have all clinched while Bentworth (2-9) and Beth-Center (1-9) have been eliminated.
Class 1A West Greene (6-2) had won 70+ straight section games before losing to Avella last week. Now, the Pioneers have dropped two in a row and fallen out of first place. West Greene has clinched a berth along with Avella (5-3). Mapletown (2-6) and Jeff-Morgan (0-8) have been eliminated.
