WPIAL Football Playoffs Open; Finals Set for Later This Month
The Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPIAL) high school football playoffs opened on the evening of Nov. 6, with first-round games in five of the six classes; the largest class, 6A, starts next week, and upsets were few. The 6A semifinals are set for Nov. 13, with top seed and defending champion Pittsburgh Central Catholic facing No. 4 Hempfield, and No. 2 Canon-McMillan hosting No. 3 North Allegheny; the winners meet for the 6A title on Nov. 21 at Pine-Richland High School, which also hosts the 4A final the same day, while the other classes' finals are set for Nov. 28 at Acrisure Stadium on Pittsburgh's North Shore. In 5A, No. 11 Armstrong upset Woodland Hills and now visits No. 3 Upper St. Clair; in 4A all top four seeds advanced, with top seed South Fayette hosting New Castle and McKeesport facing Montour in a rematch; in 3A, No. 9 West Mifflin beat No. 8 Freeport to advance. All six class champions earn berths in the state playoffs, whose finals are scheduled for Dec. 10-12 at Cumberland Valley High School in Mechanicsburg.
