CATCH THE SOCCER PLAYOFF PAIRING SHOW ON TRIB HSSN

The postseason can’t begin without a little bracketology.

The 2024 WPIAL soccer playoffs will likely begin Saturday and continue through the eight championship matches slated for Oct. 31-Nov. 2 at Highmark Stadium in Station Square.

The brackets for the four boys and four girls tournaments will be unveiled Wednesday afternoon.

On the boys side, there will be 63 teams and two preliminary round matches, one each in 3A and A.

Three of the four defending champions have qualified with Norwin in 4A, South Park in 2A and Bentworth in A looking to win more gold. Only South Fayette in 3A did not qualify after winning a district crown in 2023.

For the girls, 61 teams will be participating with only one preliminary round contest slated for Class A.

All four 2023 winners are back in the search for gold even though a new champion will be crowned in 4A.

Last year’s 4A winner Fox Chapel is now in 3A, in the same field as that classification’s champ 12 months ago, South Fayette.

Avonworth in 2A and Freedom in A are back in the championship hunt. The Antelopes are looking for a fourth straight WPIAL title while the Bulldogs are looking to three-peat.
