Walker the only Quip to score so far getting shots blocked turning it over and had the big David Weaver hitting 3 pointers yes  the kind of night it was for Aliquippa, the Quips did show that they were in the game to the very end when they had to fowl and hope for the best. Tiki Hayes gets a rebound and is fowled he goes to the line and makes one the score is 13 to 9 the Quips coming back then D.J Walker took a pass from Quinton Goode and makes a layup to start the second quarter then Cam Lyndsey gets a layup for his first points of the game to get the Quips within 4 17to 13. then the Quips were trailing 20 to 15 and Cam Lyndsey gets a bucket to make 23 to 19 Quinton Goode hits his first 3 to make it 25 to 22 and that’s the half not bad all and all. To start the third D. J. Walker puts some moves on going right then left and he scores 25 to 24 Quips then D.J. Walker kicks the ball out to Tiki Hayes he scores and gets Quips first lead of the game28 to 27. that’s about all the closer it would be their sharp shooting  Camden Hurst went and hit a 3 to get the only lead back that Aliquippa would have Aliquippa tried everything in their bag of tricks that has worked before but sometimes its just your night and the other team just cant miss but silver 2 years in a row is not bad at all that’s why they play the games.
