3A WPIAL Championship: Quaker Valley 2, Aliquippa 0

November 18, 2017

The weather made the turf at Heinz Field sloppy.

The play on the field made the the turf at Heinz Field look like a showroom floor.

There were more penalties and turnovers than points, as an early 2nd-quarter safety provided the meager difference in Quaker Valley’s first ever WPIAL Championship victory in football; a 2-0 victory over the Aliquippa Quips.

Bob Barrickman has the recap from Heinz Field:

Quaker Valley, despite four turnovers, improves to 12-1 and will play either Sharon or Forest Hills in the PIAA 3A Semfinal on December 1 or 2. Aliquippa loses in the WPIAL title game for the 2nd consecutive year.

M.J. Devonshire (Aliquippa) and Ryan Jackovic (Quaker Valley) were selected as the CCBC Players of the Game.
