Balanced offense leads Haverford to its first win

By PA Prep LIVE

When Haverford’s offense is at its best, it’s all about balance. That and a little timely shooting doesn’t hurt.

Jake Ruane provided it Thursday with 14 points, one of three Fords in double-figures as Haverford notched its first win of the season, 54-48, over Garnet Valley.

The win is the first for Haverford in the league since Jan. 30, 2016, a span of 21 contests.

Ruane was one of five Fords to hit a 3-pointer, as did JT Smyth (11 points) and Dan Roe (12 points). Luke Verzella chipped in seven points for Haverford (1-4, 1-3 Central).

Connor O’Brien led Garnet Valley (2-2, 2-1) with 21 points, including four 3-pointers. Greg Vlassopoulos chipped in 14 points on a night where 1,000-point man Austin Laughlin was limited to seven.
