The WPIAL football season has reached the halfway point. Including Week 0 games, most teams have now played 5 games and have 5 games left on the regular season slate. Teams in conferences of 7 or 8 teams started conference play in Week 3. In conferences with just 6 teams, they will start conference play this week. From here on out, the race for the playoffs is in full swing. The biggest news in the WPIAL last week was Penn Hills defeating Aliquippa in non-conference play, snapping the Quips 16-game overall winning streak and 29-game winning streak against WPIAL teams. Aliquippa’s last loss to a WPIAL opponent was in Week 2 of 2021 against Central Valley.
