The Upper St. Clair Boys Basketball team hosted Seneca Valley tonight in a WPIAL Class 6A Quarterfinal matchup. The start of the game could not have gone any better for the Panthers as they led 17-4 after the first quarter. The Panthers would continue to build on that lead as they led by 17 at halftime and 18 at the end of the third. Seneca Valley would mount a furious fourth quarter comeback as they held the Panthers to only four points in the quarter, all coming by way of the free throw line, and cut the Upper St. Clair lead all the way to two. The Panthers were able to spoil the Raiders comeback bid as they held on for a 45-43 win. Julian Dahlem was the only Panther to reach double figures on the night as he finished with 14 points. Upper St. Clair will now take on Central Catholic on Tuesday with a WPIAL Championship berth on the line. The site and time of the game is still to be determined.
