The WPIAL has reduced the Class 6A basketball sections from three to two for their new re-alignment for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons. Eight teams will be included in each Class 6A section, with Butler and Seneca Valley joined by New Castle, North Allegheny, Pine-Richland, North Hills, Fox Chapel and Woodland Hills in Section 1.
A very competitive Class 5A Section 4 which features Mars, will now include Lincoln Park. The Leopards have won the last two PIAA and WPIAL Class 4A titles and move up under the PIAA competitive balance rule.
Class 4A will feature Knoch, Freeport and North Catholic in both boys and girls sections. The girls Section 1 will also include Oakland Catholic.
