The Southwest Pennsylvania region is currently held at California University of Pennsylvania. Its 2021 competition was held virtually on Wednesday, March 10 through Saturday, March 13, as a joint West Regional with the Northwest Pennsylvania Regional, with Central Pennsylvania Regional teams also joining for the B Division. In total, 18 B teams (10 AAA, 8 AA) and 12 C teams (7 AAA, 5 AA) qualified for states.
The Southwest region primarily serves Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Fayette, Fulton, Greene, Indiana, Somerset, Washington, and Westmoreland counties.
History
Historically, the Southwest region has been dominated by Shady Side Academy in both divisions. Major exceptions to this were in the years from 2003-2006, where both Shady Side teams competed in the Northwest Pennsylvania Regional instead. However, they returned in 2007, along with Sewickley Academy, which competed in the first time in 2006. Another major exception occured in 2022, when the Shady Side Division C Team did not participate.
In 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teams from the Northwest Regional combined with the Southwest Regional to temporarily recreate the old West Regional. In Division B, teams from the Central Regional also competed in the West Regional.
