Beaver Valley WPIAL high school football quarterfinal predictions

With the Beaver Valley high school football playoff field trimmed down to five teams in the WPIAL postseason, the Beaver County Times will be looking at each of the five games this week and giving its predictions for each matchup. Here is a look at this week’s slate, ranging from Classes 5A to 3A and 2A, with a pair of Beaver County teams looking to face off against each other in the semifinal round next week in Classes 3A and 2A. No. 5 West Allegheny at No. 4 North Hills West Allegheny comes into this game after sneaking past Gateway in the first round of the WPIAL 5A playoffs, with quarterback Mason Bryan leading the charge with three total touchdowns and a pair through the air to wide receiver Kingston Henke. On the other side, North Hills enjoyed a bye last week after coming in as the No. 4-seeded team in the classification. The team has sported just two losses on the year, one coming to Class 6A Norwin by seven points and Pine-Richland in conference play. Prediction: North Hills - While this game will be close, North Hills’ offense is firing on all cylinders and will help push it

Hopewell football aims to keep 2009 vibes alive in WPIAL quarterfinals

Last week, Hopewell won a WPIAL high school football playoff game for the second consecutive season and played a home postseason game for the first time since 2009. However, Hopewell’s goals are bigger than just hosting and winning a playoff game; it is about getting back to the WPIAL championship for the first time since that 2009 season and winning its first district title in 24 years. That journey continues against North Catholic at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, in the WPIAL Class 3A quarterfinals at Chartiers Valley High School. “We are going to be confident; we believe in ourselves and we know what we are capable of. North Catholic has had some turnover on coaching, so they do some things differently and have made adjustments,” Hopewell head coach Mottes said. Just as it has all season, Hopewell’s offense continued to flex its muscles last week. After averaging 52 points per game during Western Hills Conference play and putting up more than 60 points in two of those contests, the team cruised to a first-round victory over Mt. Pleasant. While the offensive success has been high throughout the season, many of its starters, including quarterback James Armstrong, running back Nasir

State penalties against Shell have failed, and a new approach is needed

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) $15 million penalty against Shell Polymers in September is an unacceptable response to ongoing pollution violations. It sends a message that the creation of fines – essentially awarding “financial gifts” for community health projects – will curtail unlawful emissions at the plant.

Ambridge 'flips the switch' on new rooftop solar system

Ambridge is the latest Beaver County site to incorporate solar power into its municipal building. Local leaders flipped the switch officially Nov. 5 on the rooftop system at the municipal complex, facilitated through the Rural Innovation through Solar Empowerment (RISE) project in partnership between nonprofits RiverWise, The PA Solar Center and New Sun Rising to accelerate solar adoption in communities throughout Beaver County. The RISE Project began as a two-year initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energizing Rural Communities Prize. EIS Solar of Carnegie installed Ambridge’s 130.9-kilowatt solar system, which was paid for in part by an Environmental Mitigation Community Fund grant. The borough was also able to leverage a 40 percent federal renewable energy tax credit for the project. The solar panels will offset approximately 100 percent of the combined annual energy consumption of the borough facilities at 600 11th St. and 533 Merchant St. EIS Solar estimates the solar array will save Ambridge taxpayers about $509,000 over the next 25 years. “The Borough of Ambridge is delighted to celebrate this milestone with the community and the RISE Project partners,” said Mario Leone Jr., borough manager. “We look forward to reallocating the savings from our electric bill
