Central Valley 42, Beaver 35
A showdown of two titans in the Beaver Valley Conference came down to the final play, and in the end, it was the Warriors who emerged victorious over the Bobcats.
Beaver was stopped on its final drive, and the Central Valley Warriors earn a 42-35 victory over the Bobcats at Sarge Alberts Stadium on WBVP.

Coroner Called To Scene Of Fatal Shooting In Aliquippa
The Beaver County coroner was called last night to the scene of a fatal shooting in Aliquippa, where at least one person was struck by bullets. Emergency dispatchers say the shooting happened just before 8:30 p.m. in the 1100 block of Wade Street. While authorities have yet to release any details about the incident, they do say that at least six shots were fired into a tan Honda. According to police, a 16-year-old boy who was inside the car was shot and killed. Police took another teen into custody.
Armed Detroit Man With Record Sought By New Castle Police
New Castle police say they’re looking for an armed and dangerous suspect from Detroit who escaped when they tried to arrest him. New Castle police Chief Robert Salem says his officers tried to arrest 34-year-old Ernest Chapman Thursday on drug and parole violation charges stemming from a recent police chase. Instead, Salem says Chapman put a gun to a friend’s head and made him drive away. After the car crashed, Chapman ran into some woods, though police believe he was later picked up by someone in another car. Because it’s near Interstate 80, it’s not uncommon for people from the Detroit area to be involved in drug trafficking in the city. Salem says Chapman is “armed and dangerous.”
Preliminary Hearing Continues Today In Aliquippa Burglary Turned Rape Case
More witnesses are expected to testify today in a preliminary hearing which began Monday, for two men charged in a burglary turned rape in Aliquippa last month. A woman testified Monday that she feared for her life while she was raped at gunpoint by two men who broke into a man’s home where she was visiting. 19-year-old Michael Guin and 17-year-old Malakai Helencamp are charged in the August 11th crimes. A third suspect – 18-year-old Clarence Larue – waived his right to the hearing. District Judge Tim Finn is expected to make a ruling on the charges this afternoon.
State Rep. Jim Christiana Says He Agrees With Governor Wolf On Fight To Curb Opioid Epidemic
There’s not much that Democrats and Republicans can agree on these days. But there is bi-partisanship in Harrisburg, at least on one issue – the fight to curb the opioid epidemic ravaging Pennsylvania. Governor Tom Wolf addressed a legislative joint session earlier this week to call for immediate action. Republican Rep. Jim Christiana says that Gov. Wolf brought the two parties together on this issue.
