WPIAL Blitz Show PIAA Championship Edition with Penn-Trafford HC John Ruane

It’s State Championship week and FIVE WPIAL teams will be competing for titles in Hershey. Five teams from one district is the most that have ever reached the State finals, though this is only the sixth year of the Six Classification Era in Pennsylvania high school football. Championship weekend kicks off in Hershey on Thursday with the 1A Championship between Redbank Valley and Bishop Guilfoyle. This is the only game without a WPIAL team, but Redbank Valley is the first District 9 team to reach a State Final since 1992, a pretty cool feat. Of the WPIAL teams, Aliquippa will play Bishop McDevitt (Harrisburg) on Thursday night.
