Penguins Add Defensmen, Lose To Chicago

The Pittsburgh Penguins were active at the trade deadline, adding Frank Corrado and Mark Streit to the defensive depth while dealing Eric Fehr and Steve Oleksy to Toronto.

Unfortunately the Penguins were not active in the win column, dropping their second consecutive game in as many nights, losing to Chicago 4-1. Scott Wilson scored the lone Pittsburgh goal, while Richard Panik scored the game winner and Patrick Kane added a hat trick for the Blackhawks.

The Penguins stay tied for second place in the Metropolitan with Columbus, and return to action Friday night against Tampa Bay at home. Tampa Bay defeated Carolina in the only other NHL game last night, winning 4-3 in overtime.

Minnesota at Columbus
New Jersey at Washington
NY Rangers at Boston

Lincoln Park Seeks 2nd WPIAL Championship Tonight

The Lincoln Park Leopards will play for the 3A Boys’ championship against Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic tonight at the Petersen Events Center on the Pitt campus, at 9:00 on Beaver County Radio.

The Leopards are seeking their third WPIAL Championship in school history (2012 & 2014), and 11th overall championship for the Midland area. The Trojans are looking for back-to-back titles (winning in 1A last season), and their fourth WPIAL title since 2009.

Pre-game is at 8:30 on WBVP & WMBA.

New Castle 61, Central Valley 33

The New Castle Red Hurricane used a lopsided second-quarter to propel themselves to the WPIAL Finals, as they cruised to a 61-33 victory over the Central Valley Warriors in the 4A Boys’ semifinal at Ambridge HS on 1460 WMBA.
Central Valley ran out to a 7-0 lead early, and took a 11-10 lead into the second. But New Castle would make a run of their own, outscoring the Warriors 25-4 in the frame.

The #1 Red Hurricane will play #2 Quaker Valley in the WPIAL Finals on Saturday, while the #4 Warriors will rest for the PIAA Playoffs that begin next week.

Geno Stone (NC) and Michael Simmons (CV) were named the CCBC Players of The Game.

Tom Hays has the recap for beavercountyradio.com.

Quaker Valley 68, Beaver Falls 50

 

The Quaker Valley Quakers showed the pedigree of dominance they had shown all season, beating the Beaver Falls Tigers 68-50 in the 4A Boys’ semifinal at Moon Area HS on 1230 WBVP. Quaker Valley, despite allowing the deficit to be cut to as low as one, never trailed during the course of the game.

The #2 Quakers earn their first spot in the WPIAL Championship since 1997 and will face #1 New Castle, while the #3 Tigers wait for the state playoffs to begin next week.

The Quakers’ Wolf Moser and The Tigers’ Josh Creach were selected as the CCBC Players of The Game.
