RADNOR TOWNSHIP, Pa. - On Saturday the Radnor’s Boys basketball team accomplished something no team had done since the 60’s - they are now the District 1 Class A Champions.Radnor came into the District 1 Class A championship undefeated.The team’s season ended in the same championship game last year."We kind of left one out there," said Head Coach Jamie Chadwin. "All through this year, we had kind of been angling to get back to this point to have another opportunity.
The guys took advantage of it and we’re ready."Senior Captain Cooper Mueller scored eleven points and said the way last year ended fueled the team all season."We came into this year the biggest loss last year was that loss to Chester in Districts," said Mueller. "They hit a bank almost half court three right in my face.
That really stung and stuck with me."After a slow start, the tight-knit Raptors pulled away from Unionville and won 61-36.There are nine seniors on the team and four of them are captains.They made a pact when they were younger to stick together, and stuck to it even though some of the players were recruited by other schools."Since I can remember playing basketball, we’ve been together," said Danny Rosenblum. "Our chemistry is great.
Our defensive intensity is great and we play so well together. We’re all committed to the same goals which makes it easier.""We love each other.
