MATCH DAY UPDATES
Post match interview with Garrett Beaver…
4:13 – FINAL | FRANKLIN REGIONAL holds on — and wins back-to-back WPIAL Class 3A boys titles, beating West Allegheny, 2-1.
4:05 – West A levels the match! Then moments later F-R goes back up!
4:23 2nd | GOAL to the Panthers. A ton of chances for FR inside the box, and, off a Luke Kimmich rip that's stopped by Trevor Day, Garrett Beaver smashes in a rebound right in front, past the helpless keeper.
FR 2-1

9:57 2nd | GOAL to the Indians. Caleb Miller, off a direct free kick, tucks it under the bar.
Franklin Regional has tried to create a bigger traffic jam than anything on the South Side at the top of the box all half, but the defensive foul drawn by West A's diligence paid off.

3:45 – Pretty good action both ways — as West A has been getting into final third, but can’t get equalizer. Still 1-0 Franklin Regional.
3:10 – GOAL | FRANKLIN REGIONAL – Anthony DiFalco scores on the PK! The Panthers take a 1-0 lead.
WA’s keeper Day guessed right, diving in that direction, but a powerful take by all-everything sophomore striker
DiFalco is too much for him. Panthers had drawn a foul after a mad scramble led to a ball off the crossbar.
2:35 -West Allegheny and Franklin Regional have kicked off the final of eight WPIAL finals matches this weekend!
