For the first time since 2015, the Aliquippa Quips will be headed to the State Championships at Hersheypark Stadium. They’ll be playing for the 3A Title after their 41-7 semifinal victory over the Sharon Tigers at Slippery Rock University.

The Quip defense shut down Sharon after an opening-drive touchdown by the Tigers, and MJ Devonshire had four touchdowns for Aliquippa to earn CCBC Player of The Game honors (along with Sharon’s C.J. Parchman).

Aliquippa is now 13-1 and will play District 3 Champion Middletown at noon next Saturday at Hersheypark Stadium. Sharon’s season ends at 10-4.
