Combined, the West Allegheny, Franklin Regional and Mars boys soccer teams lost two games all season, but only one can earn a top seed.

The WPIAL will reveal its boys and girls soccer playoff brackets Wednesday. The TribLive High School Sports Network will broadcast a live pairings show at 5:55 p.m.

Among the decisions the WPIAL soccer committee faces: Who draws the No. 1 seed in boys Class 3A? West Allegheny is 16-1-0, Franklin Regional is 14-0-1 and Mars is 15-1-1. West A was seeded first last season and finished as WPIAL runner-up.

Girls soccer pairings

A year after reaching the WPIAL girls soccer finals, Norwin could enter this year’s tournament as the Class 4A favorite. But the Knights (14-2-0) have competition for the top seed in the largest classification. Seneca Valley (13-2-0) and Peters Township (14-3-0) could make an argument to be No. 1 overall.

Team tennis semifinals

The WPIAL girls team tennis tournament will play three days in a row this week, weather permitting. The winners of Tuesday’s quarterfinals advanced to Wednesday’s semifinals hosted by Sewickley Academy, North Allegheny, Fox Chapel and Seneca Valley.

The finals are Thursday.
