Anticipation for the WPIAL football playoffs has been building for weeks.
Tonight on the TribLive High School Sports Network, high school football fans will learn if their favorite team has advanced to the postseason, players will begin plotting their path to a championship and coaches will start working on their next game plan.
The traditional WPIAL football pairings meeting that typically draws hundreds of coaches, athletic directors and media members was canceled this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
So, Trib HSSN has exclusive coverage of the bracket reveal.
Forty-four teams will learn their opening-round opponents on the WPIAL Football Playoff Pairings Show, sponsored by Sendell Motors, at 7 p.m. Saturday on Trib HSSN.
