They will remember the bus rides. And the pizza in the back of the bus on the bus rides. And the laughs on the bus rides. And the singing on the bus rides. And the giggles and the jokes on the bus rides. And how all the problems in the world seemed to be wiped away on those bus rides.
It is why it was so heart wrenching when the Delco Christian girls’ basketball team took their last bus ride this season on Saturday, after a 54-39 loss to District 4 champion Lourdes Regional at Hamburg High School in the quarterfinal round of the PIAA Class 1A state playoffs.
Lourdes Regional (23-6) will now advance to the state Class 1A semifinals against District 3 champion Linville Hill Christian next Saturday, while Delco Christian saw a highly successful season end, which included a Bicentennial Athletic League championship, and a 25-5 finish.
