It’s time for the Catholic League championships. Back on a Sunday afternoon for the first time since 1998, the PCL title games have moved from the evening to the afternoon, but that shouldn’t change anything about the atmosphere inside the Palestra for one of the city’s annual highlights on the sports calendar.
They’re a couple of matchups filled with intrigue — Father Judge going for its first title since the last time it was a Sunday championship, Roman Catholic going for a 3-point; Neumann-Goretti aiming to break a 10-year spell against a Carrol squad that came oh-so-close a year ago before losing in double overtime.
Here’s a look at each game on Sunday:
