The WPIAL playoffs are here! After the 10-week regular season we are down to 62 teams vying for the opportunity to win the 6 WPIAL titles. Earlier this week, I published “primers” on each of the teams in 6A/5A/4A and 3A/2A/1A that made the playoffs with the key storylines on how they got to the playoffs and some historical information on their schools past performances. Two notable playoff qualifiers this season are Canon-McMillan (in 6A) and Latrobe (in 5A) who are making their first playoff appearances since 2008 and 2009, respectively. In 6A the top two seeds (North Allegheny and Pine-Richland) got byes to the semifinals, so the other four playoff qualifiers will start their postseasons tonight.
