Saunders then took aim at Pittsburgh.

“Aliquippa, you know, they deserve it. They beat us [in the state title in 2021],” Saunders said. “But any other Pittsburgh team, man, I like our chances. And I like our chances against Aliquippa, too. Don’t get me wrong. But, yeah, I think Harrisburg, Philly, I think all of them get disrespected about how they're not [seen as as] physical [as Pittsburgh teams].
