Methacton celebrates Senior Night
Warriors honor three seniors as historic regular season comes to a close
WORCESTER » Methacton already clinched a spot in the Pioneer Athletic Conference Final Four for the first time in school history prior to Wednesday’s game against Spring-Ford, but the Warriors 3-0 win, 25-20, 25-14, 25-18, at Methacton High School adds to the historic season.
“We were always fifth,” Warriors head coach Shane Manser said. “We were always that fifth team that was right there and almost made it.
“We were able to take both from (Perk Valley) this year and take both from Spring-Ford this year which propelled us up into the final four.”
“It feels amazing,” senior Sydney Zerbe said. “We worked so hard this season. We condition, we’ve done everything possible. It finally feels good that it’s paying off.”
Methacton improved to 12-4 overall and 9-3 in PAC play with its win over the Rams before closing the regular season against Boyertown Thursday night. The league playoffs start Tuesday.
“They’re always a consistent team,” Spring-Ford coach Josh McNulty said of Methacton. “We have four very competitive teams (in the Liberty Division). It’s like even when you have a good squad, other teams have just as good or better some years. Methacton is always consistent. They don’t make a lot of unforced errors and they play great defense. That’s been their key to success every year. Every time we play them I know that it seems like no matter what we do it’s hard to get the ball to hit the ground. They play great defense, they never give up on the ball and they just minimize their unforced errors.”
Wednesday was also Senior Night for the Warriors. Zerbe, Nya Cherry and Elly Brunt were all honored before the game.
“They’ve all improved,” Man
