While Spring-Ford successfully began its quest for PIAA gold Friday night, two of the Pioneer Athletic Conference's best players - Boyertown's Kaitlyn Eisenhard and Methacton's Kelsey Watson - saw their standout careers come to a close.
Eisenhard and the Bears fell 57-39 to Central Dauphin and Watson and the Warriors were beaten 46-34 by Cardinal O'Hara in Class AAAA openers.
A four-year starter, the 6-foot-1 Eisenhard finished her career with 1,420 points, 17th in area history.
She averaged 15.7 points and more than 10 rebounds per game this year for Boyertown (19-10), which made its second trip to states in three years.
Watson, a 5-10 forward bound for Kutztown University, averaged a PAC-10 best 16.4 points per game and 9.3 rebounds to help the Warriors (24-7) reach the league final for the second straight year and earn their first PIAA berth since 2008.
