A Beaver County judge has ruled in favor of Aliquippa and granted a preliminary injunction to 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.
The decision is pending a final determination on the case’s merits. This ruling comes after Aliquippa lost its PIAA appeal and was set to play in Class 5A. However, with this new development, Aliquippa will be able to continue competing at their current level for now.
