The Ellis Varsity Basketball team earned the No. 4 seed for the girls Class A tournament, according to playoff pairings released by WPIAL on Tuesday, February 9.

The other top seeds in Class A are: No. 1 Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic, No. 2 Vincentian Academy, and No. 3 Quigley.
"This is a history making year for the girls basketball team," said Ellis Athletic Director Shayla Scott. "I feel this year is as good as any for the girls, to not only advance to the next round of playoffs, but also to compete for the WPIAL and state championship. I am looking forward to supporting the team the whole way through, and I know the Ellis community will rally behind our Tigers!"
