Welcome to the first day of sports in high school in 2022.
The New Year starts off with a bang as there are 48 WPIAL Girls’ Section basketball games, including section openings in Classes 2A and A, on Monday.
One game to watch is a rematch of the 2021 WPIAL Class 3A Championship game as Mohawk visits North Catholic.
Last season, the Trojans beat the Warriors in both Section 1-3A games by a total of 25 points.
However, when the two met in the district title game, Mohawk surprised North Catholic, 54-48, to win the school’s first WPIAL women’s basketball title.
Luge has been tough for the defending Warriors so far as they are 1-1 in the section and 2-5 in aggregate.
The Trojans started 4-1 with a 2-0 section mark before losing twice in the North Allegheny Holiday Tournament to defending Class 6A champion North Allegheny and last year’s 5A champion Chartiers Valley.
You can watch the match on Trib HSSN at 7:30 p.m.
Best 6A Girls Programs Collide
Six of the last seven WPIAL women’s basketball champions in the highest ranking have been won by Norwin and North Allegheny.
The Knights have won the Class AAAA District Championship two consecutive years in 2015 and 2016, while the Tigers have won 6A gold in four of the past five years, including two consecutive crowns, in ’17 and ‘ 18 and again in ’20 and ’21.
NA swept the Norwin Seasonal Series last season.
The Tigers and Knights are 2-0 in Section 1-6A.
North Allegheny is undefeated 6-0 on aggregate, while Norwin is 5-1 with his only loss to Mount Lebanon.
You can stream the game at 7:30 p.m. on Trib HSSN.
2A and A finally start
As mentioned earlier, Class 2A (except Section 1) and Class A are finally triggering section play in WPIAL women’s basketball.
As everyone chases after three-time defending champion Rochester in Class A, two of the Rams’ Section 1 rivals collide when Union visits Eden Christian Academy.
The Scotties and Warriors both got off to a great start, winning 12 of 13 games combined.
Union is 7-0 while Eden Christian is off to a 5-1 start, with its only loss a two-point loss to District 10’s Grove City.
