Aliquippa High suffers 14 month sports probation
Pittsburg AP Aliquippa High School begins a 14 month athletic probation from May 1 to at least June 15, 1968, after the WPIAL Decisions Committee found disorderly conduct at the Aliquippa Ambridge basketball game on February 14. The rule requires day games only during that period as fighting and vandalism marred last season’s meeting between the rivals across the Ohio River. One league official called the punishment the stiffest yet handed down.
