Aliquippa Quips Report

WPIAL Championships (20) | PIAA Championships (5)

Like in their season opener, the Quips were greeted by thunderstorms, resulting in a delay, in which Avonworth held the lead.

But unlike last week, this game resumed, and when it did, it was Aliquippa and RB Tikey Hayes that stormed down upon the Antelopes, rushing for 168 yards and three touchdowns, en route to a 46-20 victory.

Avonworth lead by as much as 14 points.

Hayes surpassed the 6,000 yard rushing mark, and looks to add to his total when the Mars Planets visit Heinz Field at The Pit this Friday night at 7:00 PM.

The win gave Vashawn Patrick his first win as the Quips’ new coach.
