WPIAL 3A Preview: Beaver Valley Conference

The Beaver Valley Conference is without a doubt the premier division in the 3A Classification. Last season, the conference produced the top seed in the WPIAL playoffs (Aliquippa), the eventual State Champions (Beaver Falls), and a team that held the #1 ranking in the state for much of the regular season (Beaver). With the exception of winless Ellwood City, Beaver Valley Conference teams went 16-1 against teams from other conferences. The only loss was Central Valley losing to undefeated Derry in the playoffs. Due to the WPIAL’s asinine alignment decisions, only 8 of the 23 teams in 3A make the playoffs.
