When next-door-neighbors meet, it ALWAYS means something, even when it’s a non-conference game. #1 Peters Township, with a 5A playoff berth already in hand, and 6A Canon-McMillan, a squad in good shape but not quite in yet, meet tonight at Peters Township and on WJPA-FM (95.3) and online. The game pits the two largest enrollment districts in Washington County. McGuffey visits 3A playoff qualifier South Park while 4A Trinity hosts Linsly, both in non-conference action. The Hillers clinched a playoff spot last week.
Our other radio feature game has Keystone Oaks, on the edge of a 2A playoff spot, visiting #1 Wash High on WJPA-AM (1450) and online. The Little Prexies have already clinched and they play next week for at least a share of the Century Conference title. Waynesburg has a shot to clinch a 2A playoff spot tonight as well.
Elimination is the order of the night in the 1A Tri-County South as the bottom four teams,. all still alive heading into action, square off against each other. The losers of those games are officially eliminated. The top four teams also play each other, with California, West Greene and Jeff-Morgan already holding playoff spots. Beth-Center takes the final berth with a win or a Monessen loss.
1A Black Hills Conference includes Avella visiting Burgettstown with both teams trying to stay in the hunt. Avella is out with a loss and Burgettstown is in trouble. Ft. Cherry tries to clinch at least a share of the conference championship. Here’s this week’s schedule for Washington & Greene County teams (7 pm unless listed)
