Steel Valley opens defense of its AA Allegheny title on Friday night when it visits division newcomer South Park
Steel Valley (1-2) has gotten off to a rough start in 2024 and opens its AA Allegheny Division slate on Friday night with a road trip to South Park (2-1). The Eagles move down a notch from AAA this season after a 7-5 campaign in 2023. The Ironmen, out of Munhall, meanwhile, reached the quarterfinals of last year’s Pennsylvania 2A state playoffs, dropping a 14-12 heartbreaker at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh to Beaver Falls to finish a 10-2 season. South Park made a one-and-done appearance in the 3A state playoffs in 2022.
