Senior Nelson Westwood nets career high 20 in QV upset win.
Senior Nelson Westwood saved a great performance for last on Saturday and Quaker Valley boys basketball is headed to the WPIAL Final Four. Westwood, who all season filled the role of QV’s top defender and assist leader, played the role of go-to scorer. He poured in a career-high 20 points in addition to an overall great floor game to lead QV in the 62-61 upset victory. “We knew we were going to get our chances, and luckily we took advantage when the opportunities arose,” Westwood said. But #3 seed Seton La Salle did not go without a fight. Quaker Valley clung to a one point lead with 16 seconds on the clock on Saturday afternoon at North Hills High School, and Seton La Salle had possession of the ball. SLS Junior Point guard Dale …

Quaker Valley played against Riverside at Moon Area High School. The team faces Seton LaSalle next.
After an 18-4 season that earned Quaker Valley a #6 seed in the WPIAL playoffs, their season was in peril against #13 Riverside Wednesday night after three and a half quarters at Moon Area High School. Down eight points, the Quaker Valley seniors knew what needed to be done. “We’ve been in that situation before," said QV Senior Forward Burke Moser. "We are a young team, but Nelly (Senior Guard Nelson Westwood) and I won five playoff games last year together. I think that we weren’t ready for our careers to end.” After Coach Mike Mastroianni called a timeout, QV turned up its defensive pressure and forced several quick turnovers. The senior group then stepped up on offense to draw the game even. Micah Glenn, a first-year Quaker …

Mike Mastroianni is quick to praise his group of seniors, a group that has led the Quaker Valley boys basketball team to a 24-4 record. On Saturday, they lived up to his praise. Quaker Valley upset heavily favored Monessen 62-60 at Chartiers Valley High School. RJ West believes its because the team trusts each other and every player plays an equal role. “We stick together, and we go hard all of the time,” said West, “we don’t get our heads down because we are all good. It’s not all one person. We can all step up at different times.” Seniors Sam and Joe Peduto had 16 and 13 points, respectively, and repeatedly capitalized on Monessen’s failure to get back on defense after made baskets. Steven Emch also chipped in 16 points …

Coach Mike Mastroianni was worried that his 21-4 Quaker Valley boys basketball team might come out flat after a 10-day layoff following its disappointing loss to Sto Rox on Feb. 25. The Quakers quickly dissolved those fears Tuesday night by jumping out to a first quarter 23-11 lead over visiting Chestnut Ridge. The team never looked backed, coasting to an 88-49 victory. “It was hard waiting without knowing if we would be in or not. We believed we were a good enough team to get in the playoffs and make some noise, but we didn’t know if we would get the chance,” said senior Sam Peduto. The Quakers had three players in double digits, led by Peduto’s 17. Burke Moser chipped in another 15 and Steven Emch added 14. “Our strength is our …

The 20-4 Quaker Valley Boys Basketball Team will have a home playoff game at 7 p.m. tonight at the QV High School Gymnasium against Chestnut Ridge High School. After a disappointing one-point loss in the WPIAL quarterfinals to Sto-Rox, the Quakers earned a bid in the PIAA playoffs when Beaver Falls won the WPIAL Championship on Saturday. Head Coach Mike Mastroianni is excited and believes that the Quakers have the tools to make a run. "I've said all year that this is a state playoff caliber team. Now we get a chance to prove it," he said. The Quakers are led by Senior Steven Emch at 12.4 points per game, but offer a evenly balanced approach with five players averaging between 9 and 12 points per game. Junior Burke Moser leads the …
