The Aliquippa Quips have done a lot on the football field over the last few decades. They’ve won three state titles and 18 WPIAL Championships, so it may be hard to imagine that they could be part of something that has never happened before. When they take the field tonight in Hershey, however, such opportunities are there.

The PIAA Class 4A Championship is tonight between Aliquippa (12-1) and the Bishop McDevitt Crusaders (12-1) out of District 3, and the two squads will battle it out on Beaver County Radio beginning at 7:00pm at Hersheypark Stadium; pregame for tonight’s contest will be at 6:30 on WBVP, WMBA, 99.3 FM & beavercountyradio.com.

Bob Barrickman, who will have the call tonight for the Class 4A title game, joined Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County to preview the game that could prove historic for the Quips and for Beaver County. Not only would a Quips victory give the school its first-ever title in Class 4A–despite Aliquippa maintaining a Class 1A enrollment–but as Barrickman pointed out, it would keep alive the possibility of having two Beaver County PIAA football champions for the first time ever. It’s only the second time the possibility has arisen (Rochester and Hopewell in 2002), and an Aliquippa win tonight coupled with a Central Valley victory on Saturday in the Class 3A championship would seal the double deal for Beaver County.
