South Fayette girls have never played in a state championship game. Oakland Catholic has seven times but not since losing in the 2012 final. Now, one of those droughts will end as the two meet in the PIAA 5A semifinals Tuesday night at Peters Township and on WJPA-FM (95.3). The Lions beat the Eagles for the WPIAL championship early in the month. Since then, both teams rolled through the first two rounds of the state playoffs, then won their quarterfinal games at the last minute: South Fayette on a buzzer beater, Oakland Catholic in overtime. The winner will take on the Archbishop Wood / West Chester Rustin winner in Saturday night’s championship game. PIAA Brackets
