The WPIAL postseason kicked off last week and all 22 games took place as scheduled. The opening round kicked off with a number of blowouts but also saw historic victories by Apollo-Ridge (reaching their first semifinal), Shenango (first semifinal since 1987), Plum (first semifinal since 1996), and Elizabeth Forward (first semifinal since 1999). Additionally, we saw Keystone Oaks, Sto-Rox, and Serra Catholic earn come-from-behind victories while Shenango survived a furious comeback by scoring in the final minute. Due to the PIAA playoff brackets, the WPIAL 6A Champion is slated to enter the state tournament at the quarterfinal level. The other WPIAL Champions all enter the state tournament at the semifinal level.
