Many changes came to the WPIAL Playoffs this year, including Aliquippa (and a host of others) moving up to 3A and playing only three rounds of playoffs.

One thing though that did not change was Aliquippa being #1 in the WPIAL Playoffs, and proving why in the first round.

The Quips cruise to a 42-7 victory over the #8-seeded South Park Eagles at Moe Rubenstein Stadium on WMBA. The Quips improve to 9-2 and will play Derry in the Class 3A seminfinals next Friday.

South Park’s Adam Morris and Aliquippa’s Xavier Fisher earned CCBC Player of The Game honors.
