You know what’s better than one championship? Two championships.
Over their history, the Aliquippa Quips have won plenty of championships in both WPIAL (19) and PIAA (4) playoff action. But for the second year in a row–and the third time in 5 years under coach Mike Warfield–the Quips look to get two championships in one year as they battle Allentown Central Catholic tonight in the Class 4A Semifinals at Bald Eagle Area High School. The winner moves on to the PIAA Finals next Thursday night at 7:00 PM at Chapman Field on the campus of Cumberland Valley High School.
Aliquippa (12-0) enters the game as champions already, winning the WPIAL Class 4A title in their last game over Central Valley by a tally of 34-7. Despite finishing the regular season at 5-5, the Vikings (9-5) are on a hot streak, having won their last four games to take the District 11 championship and pull off back-to-back upsets of the Bulldogs in the PIAA playoffs–a 38-31 overtime win over Jersey Shore in the first round, and a 50-7 drubbing of Meadville last week.
Beaver County Radio will have coverage of this Class 4A Semifinal match from Bald Eagle Area High School tonight, as coverage begins at 6:30 PM for pregame. Kickoff from Centre County commences at 7:00 PM between Aliquippa and Allentown Central Catholic on 95.7 FM, 99.3 FM, 1230 WBVP, 1460 WMBA. along with the Trib Live High School Sports Network.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States’ newest nuclear stealth bomber is making its public debut after years of secret development. The new bomber is part of the Pentagon’s answer to rising concerns over a future conflict with China. The B-21 Raider gets its name from the 1942 Doolittle Raid over Tokyo and is the first new American bomber aircraft built in more than 30 years. Almost every aspect of the B-21 Raider program is classified. The Pentagon is providing the public its first glimpse of the Raider at an invitation-only event in Palmdale, California, on Friday. Falls Church, Virginia-based Northrop Grumman is building the Raider, which will take its first flight next year.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court says the Biden administration program to cancel student loans will remain blocked for now, but the justices have agreed to take up the case in late winter. The court’s decision to hear arguments relatively quickly means it is likely to determine whether the widespread loan cancellations are legal by late June. That’s about two months before the newly extended pause on loan repayments is set to expire. The administration had wanted a court order that would have allowed the program to take effect even as court challenges proceed. But as a fallback, it suggested the high court hold arguments and decide the issue.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Legislation to avert a freight rail strike in the United States is headed to President Joe Biden’s desk. A bill to avoid the strike won final approval Thursday, clearing the Senate in a bipartisan vote. The bill will bind rail companies and workers to a proposed settlement that was reached between the rail companies and union leaders in September. That settlement had been rejected by four of the 12 unions involved, creating the possibility of a strike. The Senate vote was 80-15 and came one day after the House voted to impose the agreement. Biden has vowed to sign it quickly.

After two years of flipping things around to accommodate the restrictions of certain mandates and ensure public safety, Ambridge is returning to a more familiar plan to ring in the Christmas season.
Christmas On Merchant returns to the borough of Ambridge on December 9, presented in part by the Ambridge Regional Chamber of Commerce. This year citizens will be returning to the sidewalks to see the parade going down Merchant Street between 4th Avenue and 14th Avenue, after two years of the “reverse parade” format in which the citizens drove through the streets due to the pandemic. Over 30 entrants will be marching down the main street of Ambridge for the first time in three years–if not longer.
Bill Roehm
ARCC director Bill Roehm joined Matt Drzik on the December 1 edition of A.M. Beaver County to preview this year’s event, and Roehm does see the return to tradition being a positive for the community. “It was neat, it served its purpose, I think it was a cool event and glad to say–proud to say–that we did that for a couple of years,” he said, referring to the 2020 and 2021 parades. “But [we’re] really, really happy and excited, and I think the community is as well. The feedback that we’ve gotten has been really, overwhelmingly positive that we’re back to that traditional style of parade again this year.”
Also returning after a two-year absence will be the events at P.J. Caul Park, in which there will be children’s activities, cookies and punch, ice sculptures courtesy of Ice Creations, and food trucks courtesy of Annie Lee’s Southern Kitchen and Ambridge Italian Villa. Plus, Beaver County Radio will have live Facebook coverage of the festivities beginning at 5 PM and parade coverage at 6 PM, while the Prize Caddy and Personality Prize Wheel will be in action all throughout the evening!
