Prior to the start of this season, Elizabeth Forward head softball coach Harry Rutherford approached athletic director Tim Guffey with three goals for his team: Win a section title, a WPIAL championship and state gold.
The veteran coach has crossed two of those goals off his list.
And today he and his resilient group of Warriors have a chance to check off the third.
Elizabeth Forward will play for a state championship for the first time in program history when it faces West Perry, the third-place team from District 3, in the PIAA Class 4A title game at 1:30 p.m. today at Penn State University’s Beard Field.
