The MaxPreps Tour of Champions was visit Pine-Richland on Friday night to honor the Rams’ state championship football team, but a pending winter storm has forced the district to reschedule.

The team was to be recognized after the junior varsity basketball game, but the Rams’ varsity will now play North Hills at 5:30 p.m., two hours earlier than originally scheduled.

CORRECTION: The @PRRamsFootball will be honored and recognized 6:30-7:00 after the JV game is done. Varsity hoops tips off at 7:30. Can’t wait to see everyone there! #Together #RollRams https://t.co/wAMfIryTRi
