(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

Another Halloween weekend, another matchup between two top teams in Class 2A, and a result all too familiar.

The Beaver Falls Tigers (9-1) defeated the Western Beaver Golden Beavers (7-3) on Friday night at Reeves Stadium 44-8, wrapping up the Midwestern Athletic Conference title in Class 2A at 7-0. The Tigers have now won three straight decisions against Western, with the previous two victories taking place in the first round of the 2020 and 2021 WPIAL Playoffs.

Both teams will look to make a splash in the Class 2A Playoffs next month.

Aliquippa Wins Parkway, Ends Central Valley Win Streak At 36

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

Mike Warfield had won multiple WPIAL titles, PIAA titles, and bouts of adversity as head coach of the Aliquippa Quips. But he had never defeated the Central Valley Warriors.

That changed on October 28, 2022.

21 unanswered points in the third quarter elevated the Quips (9-0) to a 35-21 victory over the Warriors at Bulldog Stadium in Freedom, giving the defending PIAA Class 4A Champions the top seed in the upcoming WPIAL Playoffs as winners of the Parkway Conference. The defending PIAA Class 3A Champions fall to 9-1, seeing their winning streak end at 36 games in a row.

Both teams will continue their season next month in the WPIAL Class 4A Playoffs.

The Final Week Of The Regular Season Features Two Undefeated Teams Battling For The Parkway Title

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

After weeks of speculation, anticipation, and the games won in order for this to happen…the matchup spoken about all year long has finally become a reality.

The Aliquippa Quips (8-0) will host the Central Valley Warriors (9-0) at Bulldog Stadium in Week 9 action, with the winner remaining undefeated, winning the Parkway Conference title in Class 4A, and likely receiving the top seed in the upcoming WPIAL playoffs. Both teams are defending WPIAL and PIAA champions from last season (with the Warriors playing in Class 3A for 2021), and both enter the game on long winning streaks. Aliquippa has won 20 in a row, with their last loss coming in September 2021. The team that defeated them 21-12 in that game was Central Valley, who have won 36 games in a row since losing the 2019 PIAA Championship.

Mike Azadian and John Perrotto will have the call from Bulldog Stadium in Freedom, with coverage on 95.7 FM, 1460 WMBA and the Trib Live High School Sports Network beginning with pregame at 6:30 PM, and kickoff set for 7:00 PM.

On 99.3 FM, 1230 WBVP, Facebook Live and Trib Live HSSN, two of the top teams in the Midwestern Athletic Conference gear up for their playoff runs as Beaver Falls (8-1) hosts Western Beaver (7-2) for their regular season finale. The Golden Beavers are 4-2 in the MAC and looking to rebound following a 22-8 loss to Mohawk in Week 8, while the Tigers are 6-0 in the conference and are coming off of a 28-8 win over Freedom. This is the third consecutive year that these two teams will play each other, with the prior two taking place in the postseason–Beaver Falls has defeated Western Beaver in the first round of each of the prior two WPIAL playoffs.

Bruce Frey and Eddy Crow will have the call from Reeves Field on College Hill in Beaver Falls, with coverage on 99.3 FM, 1230 WBVP, Facebook Live and Trib Live  beginning with pregame at 6:30 PM, and kickoff set for 7:00 PM.
