(Aliquippa, PA) The Beaver County Youth Football league briefly suspended the Aliquippa Youth football team after an altercation following a game at Central Valley’s field last Saturday. The incident in question involved a group of women fighting in the stands over the game being moved to Central Valley. The coaches and team were not involved in the incident. Mayor Dwan B. Walker who took to social media on Wednesday night to set the record straight on the incident was who stepped forward to break up the fight. Walker was punched and kicked during the incident.
The league has now reversed their decision and all games for the weekend are back on according to Coach Malik Shegog. Shegog told Giordano: “After a lot of uncertainty and chaos, we made it through to the other side. We love how the community and even outside communities came through to speak up for the kids, and A HUGE SHOUT OUT to the coaches Jay Harv, Donald C. Walker III, Derhon Towler, and Mayor Dwan B. Walker and Marco Harris.” Shegog said that all players are to show up for practice ready to go and he also said, “Let’s go 3 for 3, ready to play.” The Center Township Police Department expected to file charges in the case. This is a continuing story and we will have updates as they are available.
