The District 1 Class 6A championship is set, with top-seeded Perkiomen Valley and No. 2 Garnet Valley ready to clash Friday at 6 p.m. at Hagan Arena on the campus of Saint Joseph’s University.
This year’s tournament went as expected, with no major surprises, paving the way for a championship showdown between the top two contenders.
But make no mistake, Perkiomen Valley (24-3) enters as the clear favorite. The Vikings are the standard in District 1 girls hoops, and it’s been that way for a few years now. Garnet Valley (26-1) is more than comfortable in the underdog role.
“I know they are a great team. I know it’s a big stage and there are going to be a lot of people there,” Garnet Valley senior star Haylie Adamski said Wednesday. “I am excited to play Perk Valley.”
Garnet Valley is aiming for its second district championship in program history, having claimed the title in 2019. That team was led by Emily McAteer, the Daily Times Player of the Year, who is now an assistant under head coach Joe Woods.
