Local Teams Looking For Victories In WPIAL Football Quarterfinals

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

After tonight, the “final four” will be set in Class 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A. In order to be part of that, local teams will either have to knock off the rust from the bye week or carry their momentum from last week to land themselves in the WPIAL semifinals.

Tonight on Beaver County Radio, #2 seed Beaver Falls (9-1) comes off their bye week in the Class 2A playoffs to host #7 Ligonier Valley (8-3) at Reeves Field in the WPIAL Quarterfinals. The Tigers’ last game was a 42-8 win over Western Beaver at Reeves Field, a match that would have taken place again tonight if not for the result of the Rams’ last game–a victory over the #10 Golden Beavers by a tally of 27-20 at Greensburg-Salem. Coverage on 95.7 FM, 99.3 FM, 1230 WBVP & 1460 WMBA along with the Trib Live High School Sports Network begins with pre-game at 6:30 and kickoff from Reeves Field at 7:00 PM.
