3A WPIAL Championship: Quaker Valley 2, Aliquippa 0

The weather made the turf at Heinz Field sloppy.

The play on the field made the the turf at Heinz Field look like a showroom floor.

There were more penalties and turnovers than points, as an early 2nd-quarter safety provided the meager difference in Quaker Valley’s first ever WPIAL Championship victory in football; a 2-0 victory over the Aliquippa Quips.

Bob Barrickman has the recap from Heinz Field:

 

Quaker Valley, despite four turnovers, improves to 12-1 and will play either Sharon or Forest Hills in the PIAA 3A Semfinal on December 1 or 2. Aliquippa loses in the WPIAL title game for the 2nd consecutive year.

M.J. Devonshire (Aliquippa) and Ryan Jackovic (Quaker Valley) were selected as the CCBC Players of the Game.

Tonight’s playoff game between steel valley and riverside was a nail bitter almost the whole game. Neither team was able to put up any points in the first quarter at all.

Neither team was able to get even a first down the entire quarter. Steel Valley was able to tie the game up late into the fourth. In the closing moments of the fourth riverside attempted to get off a field goal but unfortunately it was no good. In overtime riverside was able to get a field goal on they’re first drive making it Riverside 10 Steel Valley 7. Very shortly after that Steel Valley was able to complete a touchdown on they’re drive and ending the game with a final of Steel Valley 13 Riverside 10.

Murray Shines For Penguins In Ottawa

The Penguins were victorious once again on Thursday night, defeating the Senators 3-1 at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa.

Neither team scored in the first, but Patric Hornqvist tallied with 5 minutes to go in the second, and with 9 seconds to go in the frame, Jake Guentzel notched his 6th of the season and what proved to be the game-winner. Billy Sheehan picked up his first goal in a Pittsburgh uniform to seal it with 31 seconds left in the game.

Matt Murray only stopped 21 shots on the night, but an early robbery of Mike Hoffman in the 1st was a key play that kept the game scoreless. After the game, Murray had some thoughts about that save:
