Aliquippa Quips Report
WPIAL Championships (20) | PIAA Championships (5)

Hayes had 105 yards and two rushing touchdowns, and added a 67 yard touchdown grab, as Aliquippa (3-1) crushed New Castle 62-21.
This week, West Allegheny (1-2) gets the pleasure of visiting The Pit at Heinz Field.
Kickoff is at 7:00 PM.
