Time flies when you are having fun, and it seems like just yesterday that Strath Haven was lining up for Week 1 of the 2021 football season. Wins in eight of the last nine weeks have been a pleasure to watch, and suddenly, in what seems like a blink-of-the-eye, the Panthers have just one more contest before the District 1 5A playoffs begin. Senior Night last week was quite a show, as Strath Haven rolled to a 42-6 win over Lower Merion, and now the Radnor Raptors are the only remaining obstacle to a 9-1 season, a second place finish, and possibly several games of home field advantage in the playoffs.
Radnor, like many 5A teams in the Central League, has been challenged with injuries this season, forcing seven players into two-way roles. Leading the charge for Head Coach Tom Ryan is #7 Damian Falcone, a three-year starter in the offensive backfield and at inside linebacker. #70 Dominick Lauducina anchors the offensive and defensive lines, and #14 Jude Wallin has been solid in his first year at quarterback.
