One class is shining bright with three WPIAL boys basketball teams of the four remaining on the western side of the brackets. Another class has two of the four left, while a third is vacant of District 7 schools heading into the state Elite Eight.

On Wednesday, WPIAL boys teams in Class 6A, 3A and 2A combined to go 5-7 with four of the seven losses coming in Class 3A, which no longer has any teams from District 7.

The Road to Hershey continues in those three classifications Saturday afternoon.

Here are all the results from the first two rounds of the 2026 PIAA boys basketball playoffs in Class 6A, 3A and 2A, along with the sites and times of the quarterfinals on Saturday.
