West Championship At Tiger Stadium, Sharon High School, Dec. 1 Only a handful of districts had their own championships during North Allegheny (7) 35, Cathedral Prep (10) 17 these years, thus the need for a point system. PIAA Championship From 1988 through 1990, three of the four regional At Hershey Stadium, Hershey, Dec. 8 representatives were determined by the point system. Only North Allegheny 21, Ridley 14 Region IV (District 7), which had its long-standing playoff system in place, used playoffs exclusively to determine its CLASS AAA state qualifier. East Championship At Lackawanna County Stadium, Moosic, Dec. 1 But beginning in 1991, schools in Region III, which was Bethlehem Catholic (11) 7, Berwick (2) 3 comprised of teams from Districts 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10, decided to establish district championships and play off their district West Championship champions to determine the regional representative. At South Stadium, Pittsburgh, Dec. 1 Seton LaSalle (7) 10, Perry Traditional Academy (8) 6 Region III was the only region of the four to have an on-the- field playoff that matched up other district champions until the PIAA Championship PIAA changed the format in 1994 to allow all district champions At Hershey Stadium, Hershey, Dec. 8 or district representatives an opportunity to play in the state Bethlehem Catholic 43, Seton LaSalle 7 playoffs. CLASS AA The games played in Region III from 1991 through 1993 were East Championship not included in this history for many years because it was felt At Eugene L. Shirk Stadium the regional games were analogous to regional wrestling. That Albright College, Reading, Dec. 1 is, even though the games were part of the process of Hanover Area (2) 32, Delone Catholic (3) 14 determining a state qualifier, it was not part of the actual state championship bracket. Because no other region had these West Championship playoff games, it was believed that these games should not be At Mansion Park Stadium, Altoona, Dec. 1 counted as state playoff games. Canevin Catholic (7) 28, Purchase Line (6) 12 However, as time passed, the thinking changed. Since the PIAA Championship Region III games matched district champions vs. district At Memorial Field, Middletown, Dec. 8 champions, the better analogy was the state basketball Hanover Area 20, Canevin Catholic 19 (OT) championships, which provided for playoff games between interdistrict foes as part of the PIAA bracket. CLASS A East Championship Thus, beginning in 2011, the Region III games have been At Memorial Stadium added to the state history as PIAA playoff games at the Elmer L. Meyers HS, Wilkes-Barre, Dec. 1 appropriate level. Marian Catholic (11) 34, Canton (4) 14 No such accommodation has been or will be made for schools West Championship that participated in the Eastern Conference playoffs, primarily At E.J. Mansell Stadium, DuBois, Dec. 1 because games would sometimes match schools from the Farrell (7) 63, Smethport (9) 14 same district or match schools from different PIAA classifications. In either case, the schools in the Eastern PIAA Championship Conference playoffs were not district champions; they qualified At Memorial Field, Middletown, Dec. 8 to the Eastern Conference via the EC’s playoff qualifying Marian Catholic 21, Farrell 13 system. District playoff games, including games in sub-regionals (where two or more districts combine to determine a district champion) have not and will not be considered PIAA playoff games. Interdistrict games that do not lead to a district champion will be considered PIAA playoff games. www.piaa.org PIAA PIAA FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS (1988-2014) RESULTS 1991 1991 CLASS AAAA CLASS AA First round First round At Mansion Park Stadium, Altoona, Nov. 23 At Mansion Park Stadium, Altoona, Nov. 22 State College (6) 9, Brashear (8) 3 (OT) Forest Hills (6) 23, Bedford (5) 18 At Veterans Memorial Stadium, Erie, Nov. 23 At West Middlesex HS, Nov. 22 Cathedral Prep (10) 7, Punxsutawney (9) 0 Hickory (10) 26, Redbank Valley (9) 12 Quarterfinals Quarterfinals At Mansion Park Stadium, Altoona, Nov. 30 At Mansion Park Stadium, Altoona, Nov. 29 Cathedral Prep 49, State College 10 Forest Hills 23, Hickory 6 East Championship East Championship At Murray Goodman Stadium At Hersheypark Stadium, Hershey, Dec. 7 Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Dec. 7 Hanover Area (2) 20, West York (3) 3 Central Bucks West (1) 34, Easton (11) 12 West Championship West Championship At Raider Stadium, Seneca Valley HS, Harmony, Dec. 7 At Memorial Stadium, Latrobe, Dec. 7 Aliquippa (7) 12, Forest Hills 6 Cathedral Prep 28, Connellsville (7) 21 PIAA Championship PIAA Championship At South Stadium, Pittsburgh, Dec. 14 At Mansion Park Stadium, Altoona, Dec. 14 Aliquippa 27, Hanover Area 0 Central Bucks West 26, Cathedral Prep 14 CLASS A CLASS AAA First round First round At Chestnut Ridge HS, Fishertown, Nov. 22 At South Stadium, Pittsburgh, Nov. 23 Saltsburg (6) 22, Meyersdale (5) 8 Lock Haven (6) 14, Perry Traditional Academy (8) 6 At E.J.
