The Warriors are the first school since Clairton from 2014-16 to win three consecutive WPIAL titles, as they have beaten the Trojans, Elizabeth Forward (35-0 in 2020), and Aliquippa (13-12, OT in 2019) over this stretch. PITTSBURGH Semifinal games will be played in four classes of the WPIAL high school football playoffs this week. FitzSimmons waited until his senior year to take over as the teams main running back, but he took full advantage of his opportunity this fall. The top-seeded Leopards pulled within two scores with 10:37 remaining in regulation, as Devin Whitlock cashed in from five yards out. Aliquippa jumped out to a 21-0 halftime lead and held strong from there, ultimately defeating Belle Vernon, 28-13, on Saturday evening in the WPIAL 4A Championship Game. Aliquippa moves to 11-1 and moves onto the PIAA 4A Championships, matching up with District 4 champion Jersey Shore on Dec. 3-4 in the semifinal round.
