The 106th PIAA boys basketball championships will take place Thursday through Saturday at the Giant Center in Hershey with two WPIAL and one City League team still in the hunt for state gold.
It is appropriate that a District 8 team is in the mix because 50 years ago, Fifth Avenue won the PIAA 3A title by beating Norristown, 53-42.
Also, it was nearly three decades ago when Sewickley Academy defeated Schuylkill Haven in the 1997 Class A finals, 52-45, to capture the program’s first PIAA championship.
The Panthers will try to win their fourth PIAA championship Friday.
Neighborhood Academy tries to make it back-to-back state crowns to go with its two straight district titles when it hits the floor Thursday afternoon in a rematch of the 2025 Class A finals against Sankofa-Freedom.
Here are all the results from the first four rounds of the 2026 PIAA boys basketball playoffs along with the dates and times of the six boys basketball championship contests at the Giant Center in Hershey.
