This marks the second time teams from District 5 or District 6 will face each other in this final match. Both teams have been successful in the tournament, winning four consecutive games to reach the finals. Previously, in 2010, Bishop Guilfoyle from District 6 defeated Northern Cambria, also from District 6, to win the Class 1A title. District 6 teams have often met in semifinals over the years, with Bishop McCort notably advancing multiple times, including this season. Berlin Brothersvalley comes into the game with a record of 27-2, having won 25 straight games after starting the season with two losses. Bishop McCort, at 26-4, has won seven consecutive games, bouncing back after a defeat earlier in the season. The two teams previously faced each other in December, with Berlin winning 56-49. Berlin's Coral Prosser was a standout player, scoring 31 points during that match. Both teams have had strong performances throughout the state tournament. Berlin Brothersvalley aims to claim its second championship title, while Bishop McCort looks to add another trophy to its collection after winning the state title in 1985. Fans are expected to gather for this exciting matchup, which showcases talented athletes from the region in a bid for the championship trophy.
