WPIAL Championship Week features 12 title games over three days starting Thursday. The top-seeded Peters Township boys will play #2 Penn Hills Thursday for the 5A championship.
In the girls State Qualifier Bracket first round, Eden Williamson scored 23 points and helped Trinity hold off a last-minute Penn-Trafford rally. With the win, the Hillers clinch a state playoff berth and will now play Mars in the 5th place game. Trinity, Burgettstown and Chartiers-Houston girls and the Peters Township boys have PIAA berths in hand. Avella will look to make it a Fantastic Five with a win at Monessen Wednesday. Waynesburg is Greene County’s last chance to make states, needing a win at home Wednesday. WPIAL Brackets CLICK HERE
