(Bridgewater, PA) It was a celebration two premier high school football programs Wednesday evening at the Sports Patio at Robert’s Roadside Inn. Beaver County Radio hosted its weekly “Coaches Corner” radio show on site in the large venue to showcase the special occasion, and also to accommodate the space needed to have most of the Aliquippa and Central Valley football teams and coaches in attendance partaking in the event. The main stars of the evening were the head coaches of both teams. Head Coach, Mark Lyons, from Central Valley basked in the figurative and literal spotlights, as the program was also streamed with live video online, and thus two bright overhead lights were set up at Robert’s Roadside Inn to aid with lighting for the cameras. Also no stranger to spending time “under the lights”, particularly on Friday nights, was Aliquippa Assistant Coach, Vashawn Patrick, who filled in for Head Coach, Mike Warfield, who was unable to attend.
Patrick spoke about his teams great perseverance and desire to win this past season, particularly in the state championship victory over Bishop McDevitt, when The Quips overcame an early 14 point deficit. Patrick also spoke glowingly of his players’ resilience when he recounted a hard fought overtime victory in the playoffs when Aliquippa had to go to overtime to defeat McKeesport.
When it was Mark Lyons’ turn to answer questions tossed out by show hosts Bob Barrickman and Bruce Frey from WBVP, WMBA and 99.3 F.M., he emphasized that Central Valley’s current 27 game winning streak isn’t just 27 Friday game nights, it’s 27 weeks on Monday film sessions, 27 weeks of weight lifting and other training, 27 weeks of practice and preparation and many other activities than go into getting reading ready to play each game.
Over 100 guests in attendance enjoyed the special edition of the weekly sports talk show, that aired from 7 to around 8:30 P.M. and included free food provided by Pizza Joes in Beaver, My Hero’s Sub Shop in Rochester and Robert’s Roadside Inn.
Among many outstanding players from both teams who were in attendance and on the air Wednesday night were Central Valley standouts Sean Fitzsimmons and Landon Alexander. Fitzsimmons had just announced and committed to accepting a scholarship to play football at the University of Pittsburgh and Alexander accepted an offer to play at The University of Albany within the past week as well.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Evan Rodrigues scored his ninth goal of the season and added two assists to lead the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 5-2 victory over reeling Montreal. Rodrigues’ nine goals match a career-high he set during the 2018-19 season. He needed 74 games to get to nine goals that season and has done it in 28 games this season. Mike Matheson, Brian Boyle, Brian Dumoulin and Kasperi Kapanen also scored for Pittsburgh. The Penguins have won five straight. Jesse Ylonen and Jonathan Drouin scored for Montreal. The Canadiens have lost seven in a row.
WPIAL Executive Director Amy Scheuneman Talks About Aliquippa Situation & Hershey Success
(Published by Matt Drzik; cover photo courtesy Sly Washington)
The WPIAL had a record-setting weekend in Hershey between December 9 and December 11, with five teams in six games representing District 7, and four out of the five winning state gold. Two of those teams–Central Valley and Aliquippa–hailed from Beaver County, marking the first time that two teams from the county have claimed gridiron gold.
WPIAL executive director Amy Scheuneman talked with Matt Drzik on the December 14 edition of A.M. Beaver County to talk about the successes, which she felt was a great showcase by the local teams. “It’s just been a great experience these last couple of weeks,” Scheuneman said, “to see our district come and be successful.”
Scheuneman also addressed the ongoing situation with Aliquippa, who–despite winning their fourth title in school history and first in Class 4A–is dealing with a less-than-desired situation in which they are slated by PIAA rules to now play up in Class 5A; a designation that would put the Quips four classes above their enrollment status.
“They have chosen to play up for good reason, and now looking at it…are they being punished for doing so?”, she stated. “I think that’s where the emphasis needs to lie at the state level, and what that school district has done previously to try to align themselves in the right group. Unfortunately, they’ve been successful in whatever classification they’ve chosen to play.”
