A champion will be crowned Tuesday
The Spring-Ford Rams will face the Pope John Paul II Golden Panthers on Tuesday night to determine the Pioneer Athletic Conference boys' basketball champion.
No matter which way the final shot falls, a boys basketball team from the Spring-Ford area will become the champion of the Pioneer Athletic Conference on Tuesday evening.
All that remains to be seen is whether that team will be the Spring-Ford Rams (12-2 in conference, 16-7 overall) or the Golden Panthers of Pope John Paul II (11-3 in conference, 15-6 overall).
Both squads were the top seeds in their respective divisions this season and won their semifinal games against #2 seeds at Perkiomen Valley High School tonight.
