Panthers of the same color but from different District 7 zip codes return to the state semifinals looking for their fourth victory of the 2026 PIAA postseason that would send them to Chocolate Town.
In the state final four Tuesday, only Upper St. Clair and Sewickley Academy remain from the WPIAL in the PIAA Class 6A, 3A and 2A semifinals.
Both were one win away from Hershey a year ago; Sewickley prevailed while USC came up short.
Both prepare to face district champions. The Class 6A Panthers will take on the top team from District 3 while the Class 2A Panthers go head to head with the champs from District 10.
Here are all the results from the first four rounds of the 2026 PIAA boys basketball playoffs in Class 6A, 3A and 2A, along with the sites and times of Tuesday’s semifinals.
