The WPIAL has scheduled three basketball semifinals at Robert Morris’ UPMC Events Center on Saturday starting with top-seeded Quaker Valley facing defending champion Lincoln Park in a Class 4A boys game at noon.
They’re followed by two Class 6A girls semifinals. At 2 p.m., North Allegheny plays Upper St. Clair, and Mt. Lebanon faces Bethel Park at 4 p.m.
The WPIAL used UPMC Events Center to host playoff games two seasons ago, but didn’t last winter when all games were playing in high school gyms because of the pandemic.
Fox Chapel, Bethel Park and North Hills also will host semifinal games Saturday.
