CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL: 65
The Upper St. Clair Boys Basketball team traveled to Peters Township High School tonight for a matchup with Central Catholic as they looked to reach the WPIAL Championship for the second time in three years. The Panthers weren't able to find their groove offensively early on and the Central Catholic size advantage posed a problem throughout the game. Upper St. Clair fell behind by 11 points after one quarter and Central Catholic seemed to have an answer for every run the Panthers tried to put together. Ultimately, the Vikings pulled away and won 65-41. Nick Sukernek, Christian Wieczenski, and Julian Dahlem each scored nine points to pace the Panther offense. Upper St. Clair's season is not over yet though as the team will still have an opportunity to qualify for the PIAA Playoffs. The Panthers will host Mount Lebanon on Thursday with the winner moving on to the state playoffs. Tip off is scheduled for 8:00 PM.
