Friday night’s game between Aliquippa and Hopewell was an old rivalry made new again. The two teams played each other in the past but because of division changes, these teams have not played each other for years, until now. This game was also a special night for Aliquippa as it was Senior Night and the last time a home game would be played on their home field.
