The Lincoln Park Leopards have always had gold as part of their uniform, but the extra gold certainly doesn’t hurt its luster.

The boys’ basketball team, coming off of their victorious performance against Seton-LaSalle last Thursday, joined Beaver County Radio at Robert’s Roadside Inn for a title celebration on Coaches Corner.

It had been four years and two classification changes since the Leopards won a WPIAL title, and none of the players on the current roster were on the 2014 team. Neither was head coach Mike Bariski, who earned his first title as coach with the team’s victory at the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh.

The Leopards will now play Mount Union from District 6 in the PIAA First Round of the 3A playoffs this Saturday at 4:30 at Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic. Game coverage on Beaver County Radio begins following coverage of the Beaver/Belle Vernon game (also at North Catholic).

Congratulations to the Lincoln Park Leopards for winning their third WPIAL championship, and first in Class 3A, as they defeat Seton-LaSalle 62-47 Thursday night at the Petersen Events Center. Who will join them? Find out today as the 2A Boys’ Championship and 4A Girls’ Championship will be broadcast live on Beaver County Radio, with coverage beginning at 4:30pm.

All games played at the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh.
