Yough lost a 13-point lead but recovered in time to hand Wash High its first loss in 3A Section 4. The Little Prexies managed just 12 points in the first half, pumped in 18 in the third, but couldn’t find the measure in the final period as the Cougars pulled even atop the section standings with just over a week to play. Elsewhere, Peters Township clinched a playoff berth with a win at Connellsville. Jack Dunbar joined the 1,000-point club for Peters in the win. California’s win clinched a spot for the Trojans, another for Jeff-Morgan and eliminated the Maples. Avella has clinched a 1A playoff spot despite Tuesday’s loss to Rochester. Charleroi was eliminated with a home loss to McGuffey. In girls action, Canon-McMillan lost to Bethel Park and now sits a half-game on the wrong side of the playoff cut line.
