Three WPIAL traveled to State College in search of a PIAA title, and two returned with gold.

While Elizabeth Forward lost a heartbreaker in Class 4A, Penn-Trafford in 5A and Frazier in 2A returned as best in the state.

The Warriors and Commodores were joined by Central Dauphin and West Perry from District 3 and Pine Grove and Williams Valley from District 11 in the winner’s circle.
