Quarterfinals! They are all big now, makes my job a little more difficult but, don’t cry for me Argentina!

There were not a huge amount of upsets in the first round but certainly a couple and some games that were a lot closer than most thought they would be. That is just another of the reasons WPIAL playoff football is such a blast. Now you have to be extra careful about choosing where you will go, you don’t want to miss a great game.
