WPIAL 2020 First Round Playoff Preview

The WPIAL playoffs have arrived! We have successfully navigated a 7-game regular season with 386 out of 406 games (95%) being played, which is a very impressive number all things considered. The playoff field this season is smaller than in years past with just 44 teams qualifying for the postseason. In 6A just the top 4 teams qualified while there are 8 playoff teams in the other 5 classifications. Quarterfinal and semifinal games will be played at the home stadium of the higher seed and the Championship Games will be hosted at North Allegheny and North Hills.

Even with the smaller playoff fields, Aliquippa and Thomas Jefferson were able to extend their record playoff streaks to 26 years.
