WPIAL semifinals set

One of the more intriguing story lines through the WPIAL playoffs is the dominance of Section 4-AAAA girls basketball. All four playoff qualifiers from the section have advanced to the semifinals.

On the boys side, the continued dominance of Chartiers Valley is astonishing. During a conversation I had with WJPA's Bob Gregg before the start of Saturday's Class AA boys quarterfinal between Wash High and North Catholic, Gregg said CV is the best basketball team he's seen play since the great Prexies teams of the mid 1980s.
