Steel Valley Wins Double A Crown As Turnover Bug Bites the Tigers Again

(Pittsburgh, Pa.) It was a beautiful late fall day in Pittsburgh and it presented the perfect backdrop as the Steel Valley Ironmen battled the Beaver Falls Tigers for the WPIAL 2A Crown from Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.
The game kicked-off at 2:00 PM and Steel Valley scored right off the bat and took an early 6-0 lead courtesy of Cruce Brookins 56 yd run. The two point conversion attempted was no good. Beaver Falls then struck right back off of a Trey Singleton 24 yd pass from Jaren Brickner. Da’Sean Anderson then caught a pass from Brickner for the two point conversion and the Tigers led 8-6. That was the last time Beaver Falls led as the turnover bug bit the Tigers.  Cruce Brookins. then scored on a  53 yard run for his second touchdown of the game. AJ Karstetter added the extra point and Steel Valley led 13-6 with 1:30 seconds left in the first quarter. The Tigers then received the kick-off and took over on offense. Brickner then threw a pick six before the end of the first quarter  as Donald Barksdale picked off the pass and returned it 53 yards to make it 20-8.
The teams went to the locker room at half-time with the score remaining 20-8. The Tigers turned the ball over three times in the first half.
The Tigers got back on the scoreboard early in the third quarter after being aided by a pass interference penalty. Da’talian Beauford scampered in from three yards out and the Tigers cut the Ironmen’s lead down to 20-14. The Tigers wouldn’t get any closer as on the ensuing kickoff a 53-yard return by Da’Ron Barksdale gave the Ironmen a short field at the Beaver Falls 22. Two plays later, Brookins scored on a 5-yard run to make it 27-14.

Inflation Hovers Over Shoppers Seeking Deals on Black Friday

NEW YORK (AP) — Shoppers eager to start holiday shopping but weighed down by inflation are hunting for the best deals at stores and online this Black Friday. Retailers that had offered mostly lackluster discounts earlier in the season responded this week with new bargains. Elevated prices for food, rent, gasoline and other household costs have taken a toll on shoppers. As a result, many are reluctant to spend unless there is a big sale and are being more selective with what they will buy — in many cases, trading down to cheaper stuff and less expensive stores. Shoppers are also dipping more into their savings, turning increasingly to “buy now, pay later” services that allow users to pay for items in installments. They are also running up their credit cards.
