Parkland to host a PIAA doubleheader on Saturday afternoon

FROM KEITH GROLLER

Parkland's boys team may have been eliminated from the state tournament on Wednesday night, but the high school is still involved in the PIAA playoffs as a host site on Saturday afternoon.

Parkland is the venue for a PIAA 2A quarterfinal between District 12's Constitution and District 2's Holy Cross of Scranton. That's a 1 p.m. start and will be followed at 2:30 by the 3A game between District 2's Scranton Prep and District One's Villa Maria Academy. The winner of that Scranton Prep-VMA game will play the winner of the Bethlehem Catholic-Prep Charter game in Wednesday's state semis.

With the PIAA website down all day, people have had trouble tracking down the sites for Saturday's games.

We got the list of Saturday sites and times below from Michael Bullock of the Harrisburg Patriot-Nws
