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.
