We are less than a week away from the WPIAL boys and girls soccer playoff brackets being released, as the girls’ schedule intensifies with many key section matchups in Class 3A, 2A and 1A on the final Thursday of the regular season.
Many playoff spots have been cliniched, but here are all of the unsettled playoff berths at stake heading into Thursday’s action:
- Class 4A/Section 1: Pine-Richland (2-6) and North Hills (2-7) are both still in contention for fourth place (and final playoff spot) out of this section.
UPDATE: North Hills clinches at least a tie for fourth place and the final playoff spot!
