Charlie Thornton exited the locker room at Harriton High School Monday night wearing sunglasses. Given the blinding shooting night he and his Radnor teammates had just inflicted on Lower Merion, it was probably better safe than sorry.
Thornton hit six 3-pointers to tie a career-high with 26 points, the Raptors scorched the nets to a 20-for-30 shooting performance and Radnor ran away in the second half, winning the Central League title with a 60-46 decision.
“I told Jackson (Hicke) a few days ago, I haven’t felt like I couldn’t miss in a while,” Thornton said, his shades neatly tucked away. “And today was one of those days. My guys find me wherever I needed to be found. They know where I like my spots, and they put me in those positions to make plays.”
Accessories aside, Thornton is the first to defer credit. Which makes sense, because that’s how Radnor has gotten to 24-0, lifting what is believed to be its first title in the Central League, which dates to the mid-1960s. Radnor’s brilliance is predicated on that one extra pass – always selfless, always looking for the next man, always getting the ball to the player in the best position to help the team.
