The WPIAL announced its boys tennis singles tournament championship brackets Friday morning, with two North Catholic players set to compete in Class 2A.

Junior Justin Garvey earned the No. 2 seed after winning Section 3 this week; he will face Greensburg Salem’s Silas Morris (No. 15) in the first round. Garvey’s classmate, Alex Weber, is the eighth seed and will face Indiana senior Gabe Nettleton (No. 9) in the first round.

The top three placers at the WPIAL championships make the PIAA Boys Tennis Singles Championships later this season. No Butler County athletes qualified for WPIALs in 3A.

The WPIAL 2A championships will be held Tuesday and Wednesday at Bethel Park High School. The first round, quarterfinals and semifinals will start at 11 a.m. Tuesday, and the championship and third-place match will be contested 1 p.m. Wednesday.

In the 3A sectional brackets, Mars’ Andrew Bocci, Mars’ Ethan Palmer and Mars’ Cal Johnson made the Section 2 quarterfinals this week at North Allegheny High School before being knocked out.

In 2A sectionals, Garvey cruised into the final, where he beat Quaker Valley sophomore Will Meagher in three sets, 6-3, 2-6, 6-4. Weber lost to Meagher in the semis but beat QV’s Tanner Schultz in the third-place match 6-2, 6-0. Knoch’s Mason Hoffman made the quarterfinals, losing to Garvey.
