GRATERFORD – A close call in its favor on the endline allowed Pope John Paul II to fend off a set point in the second set, the Golden Panthers using the reprieve to win the next two points and grab a 2-0 lead over Spring-Ford in Thursday night’s PAC girls volleyball championship match. The Rams, however, did not back down, and in the third handed PJP II just its second set defeat of the season. But the Golden Panthers were not going to be frazzled by the rare impediment in their bid to repeat as conference champs. “We didn’t panic,” PJP II senior outside hitter Hutton Cordrey “We definitely settled and realized that we have to really push.” The push came early in the fourth set, Pope John Paul II putting together a 12-3 run to take a 15-6 lead and from there held off Spring-Ford to defend its title with a 3-1 (25-22, 26-24, 20-25, 25-19) victory at Perkiomen Valley.
