The WPIAL boys 4A matchup will kick off the afternoon slate as in Class 4A Quaker Valley will take on Lincoln Park at noon.

Following that game, the first of two WPIAL 6A girl’s semifinal games will take to the court as 2. North Allegheny will match up against 3. Upper Saint Clair at 2:00 p.m. Immediately following that game the other half of the bracket features top-seeded Mt. Lebanon vs. 5. Bethel Park will tip at 4:00 p.m.
