Spring-Ford Girls Basketball Honored by House

Members of the Spring-Ford Area High School girls basketball team are still basking in the glory of their historic state title win two weeks ago. 

On Wedensday, at the invitation of Pennsylvania State Representatives Mike Vereb (R-150), Tim Hennessey (R-26) and Mark Painter (D-146), the team traveled to Harrisburg to be recognized on the House floor. 

Seniors Sammi Haas, Courtney Hinnant, Kirsten Landis, Brittany Moore and Sarah Payonk were joined on the House dais by coach Jeff Rinehimer, athletic director Mickey McDaniel and superintendent Dr. David Goodin.

The other members of the team - Abby Beyer, Kaity Dougherty, Molly Hynes, Maggie Locke, Shelby Mueller, Cindy Nicholson, Julia Roshelli, Amy Roth, and Sammy Stipa - watched the presentation from seats on the House floor and stood up as House members applauded.

Vereb and Hennessey congratulated the team. Painter spoke of his pride in being a resident of the Spring-Ford school district and the father of two Spring-Ford alumni.

The team received a citation and were given a tour of the Capitol, and had lunch with Vereb.
