Aliquippa made it look easy as their play was turned up a notch, as they were out running their selves a little bit in the first with some turnovers, but the hustle paid off as Greensburg Central was getting a lot of resistance at mid court and the Quips were able to ward off the Centurions making them battle hard just to get off a shot. The game moved fast up and down the court with the Quips leading at the end of 0ne 17-6 with Quinton Goode getting 10 of his 24 points in the first. Greensburg played better in the second out scoring Aliquippa 14 to 13 but that’s all they could do as Aliquippa seemed to find yet another gear and strolled on home with a great win. Quinton Goode 24pts Cameron Lyndsey 10pts and Jase Williams with 8 lead the Quips on offense and T.K Hayes  was a force on Defense, this was a very complete game for Aliquippa, the game was broadcast on 95.7Fm 99.3FM 1230Wbvp/1460WMBA and around the world on Beaver County Radio by Mike Azadian And Joe Sager, stay tuned this Thursday it will be the Freedom Lady Bulldogs Heading back to the  Peterson Event Center To play Shenango at 6:30pm here on 99.3FM 95.7FM 1230WBVP/1460WMBA and around the world on Beaver County Radio that game will be broadcast by Bruce Frey and Frank Salopek.
