Strath Haven’s secondary faced its toughest test of the season Friday night.
Ridley’s receiving corps, which is led by Paul Jackson, Kimir Stephenson and Khameen Powell, is one of the best in Delaware County.
The Panthers defensive backs came ready to play. They intercepted sophomore quarterback Ryan Carroll four times in the first half, powering Strath Haven to a 41-14 victory at Phil Marion Field.
Strath Haven (7-0, 6-0) remains unbeaten and tied with Garnet Valley for first place in the Central League. The teams do not play this season.
James Fisher had two the fourth interceptions. Sam Milligan and Chase Nangle had the other two.
“Our coaches said Ridley had some of the best receivers and said they were the fastest,” Nangle said. “I thought we played really well. They didn’t get much action against us.”
Fisher’s interceptions were game changers. On its first possession of the game Ridley drove inside the Haven 5-yard line. But when Carroll tried to dump off a lob pass in the end zone, Fisher cut across to pick him off in the end zone.
