Peters Township rolled past Upper St. Clair, advancing to a third straight WPIAL championship game. Wash High and Fort Cherry each hit the end of the road with semifinal losses. Wash High led at the half but finished with four turnovers and lost to Seton-La Salle for the second time in four weeks. Fort Cherry hadn’t lost to a WPIAL opponent in more than three years but the Rangers defense struggled against the power running game from Laurel. The two-time defending champions led 14-13 at the half but were shutout after intermission. WPIAL Brackets
