The HSSN May Madness results are in from Wednesday, May 27 in the second round of the brackets to determine the WPIAL Athlete of the Century.

Both winners of these second-round matchups did so convincingly with each winning by a bigger margin in the second round than their closer first-round victories.

McAfee earned 68% of the votes.

The girls second-round contest on Wednesday saw Maura Huwalt of South Park double up Kaitlyn Orstein of Mt. Lebanon in a battle of multi-sport small school vs. one-sport big school in the South Hills.
