Written: Oct 13, 2012
The Ellwood City Lincoln High football team threw a scare into Aliquippa.
Well, for a brief moment, that is.
The Wolverines took the lead against the WPIAL’s No. 1-ranked WPIAL Class AA team last night and, in fact, came out of the first quarter trailing by just 7-6.
But the Quips turned on the jets in the second period, outscoring Ellwood City 27-0 en route to a 54-12 rout in Midwestern Athletic Conference action at Ewing Park’s Helling Stadium.
The Wolverines scored on their second possession, on a 76-yard run by Christian Sarver late in the first quarter. Terry Swanson got Aliquippa started, however, with a 17-yard run in the quarter’s waning moments. Quarterback Malik Shegog opened the second-quarter with a 20-yard scoring jaunt, then hooked up with Jyier Turner on a 60-yard touchdown reception.
Shegog added a 42-yard TD run and then joined forces with Devon Walker on a 38-yard scoring strike.
The Wolverines scored one final touchdown on a 20-yard pass from Brandon Magnifico to Beau Ewing in the third quarter.
Sarver led Ellwood City with 80 yards on seven carries. Wolverines quarterbacks Magnifico and Justin Vetica combined to complete 5 of 6 passes for 53 yards.
Aliquippa is now 5-0 in the conference and 7-0 overall. The Wolverines slipped to 1-5 and 1-6.
