WPIAL boys volleyball brackets 2025: Mars, Seneca Valley, North Catholic matchups, sites, times, tickets
Defending WPIAL Class 2A boys volleyball champion Mars will get a chance to repeat next week, albeit from a tougher part of the bracket.
The Planets (8-10) earned the No. 6 seed this year after holding the top spot in 2024 and marching to their first WPIAL title and longest PIAA tournament run in program history.
The WPIAL announced this year’s boys volleyball tournament brackets Friday, and the Planets will face No. 11 South Park at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the first round.
Mars is one of three Butler County teams in the dance, joined by 2A No. 4 seed North Catholic and 3A second seed Seneca Valley. The Raiders (12-3), who have never won a WPIAL title, and Trojans (9-5), who won in 2023, earned first-round byes and will host quarterfinals Thursday.
Both championship games will be held at Peters Township High School’s AHN Arena between May 22-24.
Tickets for all games through the semifinals can be purchased online at gofan.co/WPIAL for $7 for adults, $5 for students. Tickets purchased at the gate are $7. Tickets for the consolation and championship games cost $10.
