The Upper St. Clair Boys Basketball team traveled to Slippery Rock University today to take on McDowell High School in the PIAA Quarterfinals. A very physical game saw the Trojans jump out to a 15-6 lead after the first quarter. The Panthers responded, tying the game at 21 as the teams headed to the locker rooms at halftime. The second half was a back-and-forth affair, and 32 minutes were not enough as the teams were tied 47-47 at the end of regulation. In overtime, each team scored 2 points and McDowell had possession with 35 seconds remaining. The Trojans then went for a layup with 10 seconds left, Kaamil Jackson blocked the shot and the ensuing fast break saw Gianni DiSora find Tyler Robbins for a two-handed dunk to win the game for the Panthers, 51-49. Robbins finished the game with 14 points and Niko Gidas drained 6 three-pointers, as he led all scorers with 22 points. The Panthers now advance to the PIAA Semifinals where they will take on District 12's Roman Catholic High School. The game will take place on Saturday with the time and location to be determined.
