Eight tickets will be punched to the WPIAL Championships at Petersen Events Center tonight, and at least one Beaver County team will find themselves battling for gold this weekend. That will be unveiled in our first of two games tonight as Blackhawk & Central Valley play each other at Ambridge for a spot in the 4A Girls’ Championship at Ambridge. Coverage on Beaver County Radio begins at 5:30. Then in Game 2, the Aliquippa boys eye a return to “The Pete”, and they take on North Catholic for that bid tonight at North Allegheny. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00pm.
