The first round of the PIAA football playoffs is made up mostly of district championship games with a few champion vs. champion matchups sprinkled in.
While there are seven district title games coming up this weekend, including two WPIAL finals, the state quarterfinals are primarily compiled of district survivors battling for a spot in the Final Four.
