Bishop McCort, Berlin girls advance to the PIAA Championship
EBENSBURG, Pa. (WTAJ) – Just a few weeks ago, Bishop McCort defeated Penns Manor to win the District VI Championship game. On Friday, the Crushers beat the Comets 55-53 to advance to the PIAA Class 2A Championship game for the first time since 2017. 'It's so exciting,' Bishop McCort junior Emma Preuss said. 'We've been just waiting for this moment all season long and we work so hard.' Bishop McCort trailed the majority of the game, but Ava Zucco's go-ahead free throws with 20 seconds left proved to be the difference. 'Coach (John) Hahn and I always make a joke because I'm like a horrible foul shooter under super a lot of pressure,' Zucco said while smiling. 'It was really funny. I tried not to think about it. I just acted like I was in the gym at practice.' Meanwhile in the other side of the bracket, Berlin-Brothersvalley advances to face the Crushers with a 41-38 win over Mountain View. This will be the fifth time since 2019 that a Mountaineers basketball team will be playing in the Giant Center. Berlin's girls team won in its lone appearance back in 2019.

McCort ends district title drought in close win over Penns Manor
CRESSON (WTAJ) — Bishop McCort leaned on defense to edge Penns Manor Thursday night in the District 6, 2A Championship game, 54-49. Timely second half turnovers fueled a few late baskets as the Crushers and Comets traded scores, but those ultimately helped McCort build a cushion and raise its first District 6 crown in seven seasons. 'I can't believe it,' said head coach John Hahn. 'I thought I'd be here last year. I thought I'd been here the year before. But, you know, there's there's good teams and I think Laurel Highlands gets us prepared for this, and Penns Manor, we watched them all year long because we assumed that's who was going to be here. And, for this feeling now, this just never gets old.' Scores posted below reflect central Pennsylvania high school scores that have all been submitted to WTAJ or the Associated Press.
