A judge in Beaver County has ruled that Aliquippa will remain in Class 4A football for the next season. The school had been moved to Class 5A after winning the state title in November, following the PIAA’s competition classification formula. Despite losing an appeal with the PIAA, the school district filed a lawsuit against the organization to prevent the move.
In a preliminary ruling, a Common Pleas judge granted a temporary injunction allowing Aliquippa to stay in Class 4A while the case is being decided on its merits. The decision came after Aliquippa lost its PIAA appeal and was set to play in Class 5A.
The school district has expressed its satisfaction with the decision and is grateful for the support of its community during this time.
