Beaver Falls came into their game with Keystone Oaks winning 9 straight games. And on the back of their star running back, they have made it 10 with a trip to Heinz Field.

The #2 Tigers advance to the 3A Championship with a 28-21 victory over the #3 Golden Eagles at Ambridge on WBVP. The Tigers won on a touchdown run by Derrell Carter in the last minute before stopping Keystone Oaks on their final drive.

The Tigers improve to 10-1 and will get a rematch with #1 Aliquippa (46-20 winners over Derry) at Heinz Field next Friday. Keystone Oaks ends its season at 9-2.

Carter and KO’s Quran Powe were selected as the CCBC Players of The Game.

Many changes came to the WPIAL Playoffs this year, including Aliquippa (and a host of others) moving up to 3A and playing only three rounds of playoffs.

One thing though that did not change was Aliquippa being #1 in the WPIAL Playoffs, and proving why in the first round.

The Quips cruise to a 42-7 victory over the #8-seeded South Park Eagles at Moe Rubenstein Stadium on WMBA. The Quips improve to 9-2 and will play Derry in the Class 3A seminfinals next Friday.

South Park’s Adam Morris and Aliquippa’s Xavier Fisher earned CCBC Player of The Game honors.

It’s been a while since the Rochester Rams made the WPIAL Playoffs (2012), but Gene Matsook’s squad acted tonight as if they’d never left.

#2 Rochester dominated the #15 Riverview in the opening round of the Class 1A playoffs with a 39-6 win on WBVP. Rochester improves to 10-0 and will face Imani Christian in the quarterfinals next Friday, site and time to be determined.

Nasan Tibbens of Riverview and Rochester’s Andrew Massey were named CCBC Players of The Game.

Aliquippa beat Beaver Falls.
Beaver beat Aliquippa.
Central Valley beat Beaver.
And last week, Beaver Falls beat Central Valley.

The first year in the Beaver Valley Conference has brought a gridlock between its titans, and this made the Week 8 matchup between the Quips and the Warriors that crucial.

And in the case of Aliquippa, their comeback that much more elating.

The Quips come back from 14 down to score the final 22 points in a 22-14 victory over Central Valley at Sarge Alberts Stadium on WMBA Friday night. The win improved Aliquippa’s record to 5-1 in the conference and 7-2 overall. Meanwhile the Warriors drop to 5-2 in the BVC and 6-3 overall.

Robbie Kunselman (CV) and Tariq Jones (AQ) were selected as the CCBC Players of The Game.

Week 8 means playoff spots are on the line. But for the Blackhawk Cougars, it has to wait until Week 9.

The Montour Spartans capped a successful Senior Night with a 38-14 victory over Blackhawk. The loss drops Blackhawk to 4-3 in the Northwest Nine; 5-3 overall. The Cougars must win at home against New Castle in Week 9 in order to make the playoffs; a loss will result in elimination. Montour’s victory improves their record to 4-3 in the conference, and 4-4 overall.

The Spartans’ Kavon Morman and the Cougars’ Tyler Hill were named the CCBC Players of The Game.
