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.

Pentagon debuts its new stealth bomber, the B-21 Raider

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.

High court to rule on Biden student loan cancellation plan

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.

Congress votes to avert rail strike amid dire warnings

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.
