Canon-McMillan kept section title hopes alive with a win over Peters Township. Despite the loss, the Indians clinched a playoff berth with Baldwin’s loss to Bethel Park. Trinity clinched at least a share of the section title with its win over Chartiers Valley. Ringgold (4A), McGuffey (3A) and Avella (1A) were previously eliminated. Chartiers-Houston rolled past OLSH to claim at least a share of the 2A Section 1 title. Burgettstown locked down third place when Ft. Cherry & Carlynton split their doubleheader, keeping both of their playoff hopes alive.  In 2A Section 2, everybody is still alive and nobody has clinched behind leader Frazier.

Baseball
Canon-McMillan beat Baldwin but Norwin’s win over Hempfield eliminated the 6A Big Macs. Peters Township’s win over Trinity clinched a share of the 5A section title for the Indians and, coupled with Connellsville win over Albert Gallatin, eliminated the Hillers. Ringgold’s loss drops the 4A Rams one game back of the final playoff spot with three games remaining. McGuffey’s loss to Waynesburg creates a must-win game for the 3A Highlanders.  Charleroi topped Brownsville and will clinch a 3A spot with one more win. Carmichaels, Bentworth, California, Beth-Center, Burgettstown had all clinched 2A berths. Fort Cherry joined the group with the Rangers’ win over Carlynton. Wash High needs two wins over Bentworth and an other Beth-Center loss to tie for a spot. Chartiers-Houston wraps up a spot with one more win or with losses by Carlynton and Brentwood. Avella has a 1A playoff berth in hand.
