In addition to Pine-Richland moving down from 6A, South Fayette will be moving up from 4A. There will be 21 or 22 teams in 4A this cycle. I decided on Bishop Canevin as they have played in the Eastern Conference previously.In conclusion, these are only recommendations based on the current status quo of aligning teams by enrollment classifications then splitting them into conferences.
Lebanon-Upper St Clair and North Allegheny-North Hills) back on the schedule as well as balancing schedules and conferences. Other than that, the 9 teams in 6A should once again be placed into one conference.The last two years, 16 of the 24 5A teams made the playoffs and the Championship Games were held at Norwin Stadium. With the 2019 high school football season wrapping up this past weekend with the State Championship games, attention now turns to the next alignment cycle. The only decision left to balance out the conference would be to move either Northgate or Bishop Canevin to the Eastern Conference. Of the Lawrence/Beaver County schools, the northern-most seven were placed in the Midwestern Conference.The alignment for 1A this cycle should be relatively simple. Monday afternoon, WPIAL officials released their newest alignment of classifications and conferences as alignment cycle gets reviewed every two years. (The biggest decisions will be what to do in 5A and 2A. Last cycle, the WPIAL aligned the two conferences based on an East-West split rather than the more travel-friendly North-South split. In addition to Albert Gallatin, six teams will be moving down from 5A: McKeesport, Chartiers Valley, Mars, Hampton, Armstrong, and Plum. Though the WPIAL has typically favored fewer conferences with more teams in each section, for geographic purposes both 5A and 2A would be better served with more conferences this cycle to cut down on cumbersome travel schedules. WPIAL Champions from Classes 1A, 2A, 3A, and 5A entered the state playoffs in the semifinals. The PIAA has released its classification parameters for the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years and there will be significant changes for several local schools, especially in football.

WPIAL Girls Soccer 2020-21 realignment takeaways. With 21 teams, the most sensible distribution is for 3 conferences of 7 teams.If only 8 4A teams make the playoffs, a head-to-head game between Parkway and Greater Allegheny teams could count towards the Wild Card formula.Aliquippa has reached the 3A Championship Game in 12 straight seasons and had planned to once again play up in 3A this cycle.A number of teams will be moving up from 2A to 3A this cycle, including defending 2A Champions Avonworth, Southmoreland who made the playoffs for the first time since 1979, East Allegheny, South Allegheny, Brownsville, and Valley.
However, because the WPIAL wanted to have 4 Championship Games at Heinz Field, 1A and 3A had just 8 teams make the playoffs with the title game in Week 12. Additionally, this could reduce travel time for all of the teams involved. Both of these schools are making the moves because of their enrollment numbers.Aliquippa, on the other hand, will be playing in Class-4A this season and that isn’t because of their enrollment numbers but because of their level of play.

Class-5A went from 23 teams down to 18. The PIAA decides at what point the champions from each district enter the state playoffs.For example, in the last two years the WPIAL Champions from 4A, and 6A entered the state playoffs at the quarterfinals which meant their Championship Games had to take place in Week 12. To do so, all 570 football-playing schools across the state submit their enrollment numbers (9th-11th grade boys). With 3 teams moving up to 2A and 4 teams moving down, there will be 21 teams.

The PIAA organizes teams from largest to smallest statewide based on enrollment, with the largest 1/6th playing in 6A, the next 1/6th playing in 5A, and so on.

Class 5A and Class 2A had 16-team brackets the past two years while the rest had 8-team brackets, but that could change following realignment. The North-South split would work perfectly this cycle, if the WPIAL decided on just two conferences.
