PIAA GIRLS BASKETBALL PLAYOFFS: The Path to Penn State
3/24/2010 - Don Rebel
The defending state champs in PIAA Girls Class AAAA Basketball are heading back to Happy Valley in an effort to make it two straight state crowns. WPIAL champion Mount Lebanon notched their 28th victory in their 2010 belt with a win on Semifinals Tuesday. The news was not as good for fellow District 7 Avonworth, as the last WPIAL hope in Class AA was eliminated. Here are ALL of the final results from Tuesday, plus the schedule for Semifinals Wednesday as Indiana, Chartiers Valley and Vincentian Academy eye a trip to Penn State and a berth in the PIAA Girls Basketball Championships Saturday at Penn State University.
