A look at the action all week long in Spring-Ford Rams sports. A schedule of events listed by sport.
This week, we won't be doing a top five matchups, as the spring sports are involved in so much action. We wanted to jam pack your calendars and make sure you know where and when to go this week if you're a rabid Rams sports fan. So, here's a look at each sport's playoff schedule this week at Spring-Ford High School: Monday, 7 p.m. - PAC-10 Semifinals vs. Methacton. The Rams (13-5) will battle it out for the PAC-10 title this week. Earlier in the night, Phoenixville and Boyertown square off. The winner of that contest will face the winner of this one for the championship. Spring-Ford just defeated Methacton late last week with a 4-1 victory. The boys lost to Methacton the first time around, 10-5. So, this one is extra special, and it's at …

Lacrosse teams in PAC-10 Championship Game tonight. Softball has second loss. Baseball action postponed for rain.
With league titles on the line this and next week, the action is really heating up at Spring-Ford High School. The coaches took a midweek break to chat with us about the post season. With PAC-10 seeding on the line, the baseball team will have to wait another few days... Last night's Boyertown game was suspended due to poor field conditions in the bottom of the fifth. Angelo Kelly is on base with one out and Tom Grablewski at bat. Grablewski faces a 2-2 count. Boyertown leads in the game, 1-0. The game resumes on Friday at 6 p.m. Tuesday's game against Methacton was not played due to rain. The Rams currently hold third place in the league with an 11-5 record. The last win came over Owen J.

The boys basketball squad heads back to the PAC-10 Championship game after last night's victory.
One year ago, the Spring-Ford boys basketball team walked off the court as Pope John Paul II High School celebrated its first PAC-10 Championship. One month ago, the Spring-Ford boys got retribution in a regular season win over the Panthers. Less than 24 hours ago, the Rams did it again, defeating the Panthers in the first round of the Final Four, 55-45. It wasn't an easy game, but the Rams helped their case by setting the tempo early. They had an 18-7 lead at the end of one. "Every team wants to do that, but yeah, we definitely came out and defensively set the tone," said head coach Mike Young. "Last game, if you remember, they came out and got three three-[pointers] right away in the first quarter. [Brent] Mahoney got started and we …
A recap of Friday night's Final Four girls basketball game.
It didn't take long for the Spring-Ford High School girls basketball team to score its first points in Friday night's Final Four semifinals game against Phoenixville. The Rams were fouled within the first minute of the game, allowing sophomore guard Sammy Stipa to put in two free throws. What the Lady Rams didn't know was that they would be going on a 21-1 run to make it 23-1 at the end of the first quarter. The girls played aggressive, even employing the full court press early on. "It's where the defense was, really, for what we want to do," said head coach Jeff Rinehimer. "They know they were a team and they had to play team defense to get it done." The Phantoms turned the ball over 37 times in the 69-31 Spring-Ford win. The Lady Rams …

The winter seasons are winding down in PAC-10 sports and Spring-Ford High School has a lot to be proud about. The basketball teams have both clinched Final Four spots to compete for the PAC-10 Championship. Both teams made it and lost last year, so it should be an exciting post season for the Rams!

But, in the meantime, they have a PAC-10 matchup and an invitational this week. Swimming and track are continuing to chug along as the season progresses. Here are this week's top five matchups: 1.

Success continues in all of the Spring-Ford High School varsity sports. Despite a weekend loss, the boys basketball squad is inching closer and closer to a chance at winning the PAC-10. The girls team is also looking pretty good, with still only two losses all season long. Wrestling saw its first PAC-10 loss over the weekend to Owen J. Roberts, who is regarded as one of the top teams in the state. They'll advance in district duals, which resumes on Friday. The winter coaches took a midweek break from the action in this week's Coaches Time Out! Last week, the Rams picked up another PAC-10 victory with a nice win over Methacton. With that game, Spring-Ford took the lead in the division, increasing its hopes for a conference title. "We played…
