The boys' basketball team is set to make its fourth consecutive playoff appearance, and it'll face a familiar opponent in round one.

The WPIAL basketball brackets were released on Monday, and North Hills was awarded the 10-seed in the 6A tournament. That draw will send the Indians to Butler to face the Golden Tornado, a team they played twice in the 2025 regular season.

North Hills took the first matchup between the teams 69-65 before falling in the rematch 39-51. The team that played at home won each matchup this season.

The first-round tilt between North Hills and Butler will be played on Monday, February 17, at Butler. Tip-off is set for 7:00. As this game is a WPIAL event, tickets will be $5 for students and $7 for adults if purchased in advance via GoFan. All tickets at the door will be $7.
