A look back at the season that was for boys golf with head coach Jeff Mast.
Record: 9-5 (8-5) Postseason: Bennett Detweiler won PAC-10 Individual Championship. John Foley, Tyler Keim, Detweiler went to districts; Foley and Keim made it to day two, but did not advance to regionals.

Awards/Accomplishments: Foley, a freshman, was the lowest scoring PAC-10 golfer at districts and missed going to regionals by one stroke. "I tell the kids, it's probably tougher to get to regionals from District One than to get from regionals to states, just because of the intense competition we have here in District One golf," said head coach Jeff Mast. Graduating Seniors: Keim, Jack Corney, Steve Palazzolo and Andrew Zimmerman. Major Injuries: "No, we…

Editor Kevin Haslam speaks with senior Maddy Gilmartin about golf, college and the future in this week's Q&A.
We actually had a request for this week's Q&A session from a loyal reader for girls golf's Madison Gilmartin. "Maddy" was actually on our radar since the day I started covering Spring-Ford sports, as she's an incredible talent with an existing legacy for the Rams four-year-old girls team. The Rams' golfer-extraordinaire won PAC-10 Individuals for the second year in a row this year and went to the second day of districts last year. With districts starting today, Gilmartin hopes to go on to regionals in her senior season. Gilmartin took some time to sit down with Limerick-Royersford-Spring City Patch to discuss her golf career and life in general in this week’s Q&A. LRSC Patch: So, how did you get started with golf? When did you fall in love…

A season preview for Rams girls' soccer.
The Spring-Ford girls' soccer team is still in preseason training and preparing itself for bigger goals in 2011-2012. With a new head coach in Sheldon Chamberlain, combined with returning assistants Kevin Frey and Denise Johnston, the team is gearing for an above-.500 season this time around. Last year, the Rams went 9-9 and 4-3 in the PAC-10, missing post-season play, but still participating in Districts. The girls lost in Districts to Bishop Shanahan, but Frey thinks the biggest loss came to a big-time rival. "Biggest loss was a 3-2 loss to Owen J. Roberts in extra time," Frey said. "It was a tough one because we didn’t play well the first game of the season. The second game [against them], we played really well and put it together but …
