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.

By ALANIS THAMES AP Sports Writer
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa got the Dolphins off to a fast start in his return from a concussion, and Miami held on throughout a scoreless second half to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 16-10. The Dolphins snapped a three-game skid that began on Sept. 29, when Tagovailoa was concussed in a loss at Cincinnati. Miami coach Mike McDaniel opted not to have Jason Sanders kick his fourth field goal of the game midway through the third quarter for a two-score lead. Chase Edmonds was stuffed for no gain on fourth-and-3. The decision loomed large as Miami punted on its next five possessions. But the Dolphins intercepted rookie Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett twice in the closing minutes to seal it.
