p>WPIAL CLASS AA CHAMPIONSHIP

1:30 P.M. TODAY, HEINZ FIELD

Beaver Falls (11-1) vs. Aliquippa (10-2)

KEYS TO VICTORY

TO WIN, BEAVER FALLS MUST:

1. Get defensive. The Tigers showed some holes defensively in the semifinals last week, giving up 28 points to Jeannette.

2. Get Thomas some room. A Pitt recruit, Thomas is lethal in the perimeter with a pass. He also can do damage running the ball.

TO WIN, ALIQUIPPA MUST:

1. Have a Jones for winning. QB Jones has been up and down this year, and the Quips need a big game from him.

2. Hope for a Carter difference. Aliquippa's senior running back didn't play in a loss to Beaver Falls earlier this season.
