North Allegheny demonstrated their baseball prowess on March 28 when Mason Smith made a double play against Norwin in Class 6A. This week, four teams are vying for a sweep of their three-game weekly section series on Thursday.
In Section 1-6A, North Allegheny and Pine-Richland are both looking to maintain their perfect records. The Tigers hope to secure a third straight win over Butler, while the Rams aim for a second victory over Allderdice. In Section 2-6A, Hempfield seeks to complete its sweep on the road, while Canon-McMillan will be looking for a section series sweep at home.
The defending champion Mt. Lebanon will conclude its series with Central Catholic on Thursday in a rubber game. The fight for first place will be decided in a pair of WPIAL softball sections on Thursday, with early possession of first place up for grabs.
In WPIAL boys volleyball, South Fayette is currently alone in first place in Section 3-2A, one game ahead of both Trinity and Thomas Jefferson. Their match on Thursday could either reinforce their position in first place or lead to a three-way tie at the top.
