There is guaranteed to be a WPIAL team playing for the PIAA Class 2A boys basketball championship, but there will also be none in the 6A and 3A semifinals or finals.
The last of the District 7 teams in 6A and 3A fell in the quarterfinals Saturday as Upper St. Clair, Deer Lakes and Mohawk all had their seasons end with third round losses.
However two district teams will square off Tuesday with a spot in the 2A state title game at stake when Aliquippa takes on Fort Cherry.
Here are all the final scores from the first three rounds in 6A, 3A and 2A, plus the sites and times in those classes for the state semifinals on Tuesday.
