For the first time since 2019, the WPIAL boasts multiple girls basketball state champions.
Seven years ago, Peters Township was perfect in winning PIAA Class 6A gold and Chartiers Valley won the 5A state crown.
South Fayette became the first WPIAL team in more than a decade to win back-to-back girls hoops state championships.
The Lions joined a list of seven girls programs to repeat as PIAA winners from District 7.
They include: North Catholic (1983-84 and 1993-95), Blackhawk (1999-2000 and 2014-15), Aliquippa (1989-90), Hopewell (2006-07), Mt. Lebanon (2010-11) and Vincentian Academy (2014-15).
Also bringing home gold from Hershey this season was Greensburg Central Catholic in Class 3A.
It was the Centurions’ second state championship and first in 29 years.
Much like District 7, District 1 claimed two PIAA titles this season with Upper Dublin winning it all in 6A and Delaware County Christian claiming gold in Class A.
Beside South Fayette, two other programs repeated as PIAA champs in Neumann-Goretti from District 12 after defeating Oakland Catholic in Class 4A and Berlin-Brothersvalley from District 5 following a victory over Neshannock in Class 2A.
