The WPIAL never has sent more than four district teams to the state finals.
Until this season.
Five WPIAL champions are a win away from adding a state title to their 2021 collection.
Mt. Lebanon, Penn-Trafford, Aliquippa, Central Valley and Serra Catholic are headed to Hershey. Aliquippa is looking a fourth PIAA championship, Central Valley its second straight. Mt. Lebanon, Penn-Trafford and Serra Catholic want to be first-time winners.
The WPIAL never has won more than three PIAA football championships in a single postseason.
Last week’s rankings are after the team’s record and before this week’s opponent.
The rankings have no classification boundaries.
