Basketball classifications will not change.
Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association board members on Wednesday evening did not pass a proposal to eliminate two games from varsity schedules. Originally floated to help districts save on expenses during a tough budget year, the idea was met with resistance from athletic directors, coaches and administrators across the state, according to Melissa Mertz, PIAA assistant executive director. Many local coaches and athletic directors said such a decision is best left to individual schools. A planning committee voted down the plan during a Wednesday night meeting in Chambersburg. It also voted down three plans involving non-boundary schools and state classifications. Questions were raised about fair competition among public, …

No. 5 seed Panthers face Franklin Regional in first round Saturday.
Early in the season Upper St. Clair boys' basketball coach Danny Holzer emphasized certain things as keys to the team's success: giving a solid defensive effort, secondary scoring, playing together as a team and responding to adversity. When the Panthers (15-7) did those things they were successful. It led to winning eight of their last nine section games to finish in second place in Section 4 of the WPIAL Class AAAA and earn the fifth seed in the playoffs. Among their notable wins this season were a fourth-quarter comeback at Mt. Lebanon, a late-second thriller at Moon and two wins against both Pittsburgh Central Catholic and Chartiers Valley. However, their collective record against WPIAL playoff teams this season is 4-5, including …

Upper St. Clair raced out to a lead they would never relinquish, then held on from the free throw line in the fourth quarter.
Towards the beginning of the season, Upper St. Clair basketball was pretty much the Steve Limberiou and Garrett DelRe show. As the season progressed, Coach Danny Holzer and his staff have found a way to mesh the success of their two stars and their role players. They've ridden that success to their sixth consecutive league victory with a 72-63 win over Canon McMillan that saw the Panthers shoot 45 free throws in the contest. Upper St. Clair raced out to a 21-8 lead after one quarter. Limberiou and DelRe had six points apiece, but four of their teammates also made buckets. Strong defense has been mantra as the season progressed. The Panthers held Canon-McMillan to 4 points in the first 7 minutes of the quarter, before 6'8" senior center …
