The WPIAL released the boys soccer tournament brackets Wednesday, officially launching the 2025 postseason.

Butler County has a handful of teams in District 7’s postseason: Mars, Seneca Valley, Knoch and North Catholic. The WPIAL championships begin Saturday with the first round of the Class 3A and 1A fields (there is a play-in game Thursday in 3A). Two to three teams from each classification will make the PIAA Tournament in November.

The Raiders earned a first-round bye and the fourth seed in 4A, Knoch opens as the 15th seed in 3A, and Mars hosts its opener as the 7 seed. North Catholic plays a neutral-site first-round game as the home team.
