The Upper St. Clair Boys Basketball team took on Pittsburgh Central Catholic last night in the WPIAL Class 6A Semifinals at Gateway High School. In a repeat matchup of last year's Semifinals, one that saw the Vikings down the Panthers, last night was a different story as the Panthers led wire-to-wire and defeated the Vikings 61-46. Upper St. Clair was led by Christian Ito as he poured in a game high 17 points, while Brett Meinert followed him with 14 of his own. The Panthers now advance to their first WPIAL Championship Game since 2021 and will take on a familiar foe in Baldwin. The two teams met twice already this year as they split the season series 1-1. The WPIAL Championship will take place on Saturday, March 2 at the Petersen Events Center. Tip off is scheduled for 7:00 pm.
