At first, no one took it seriously. The strobe lights were flashing and the fire alarms sounded Tuesday night during halftime at Penn Wood, which was hosting Chester in a Del-Val League game.
Allegedly, someone was vaping in a bathroom, triggering the major inconvenience, and everyone had to be evacuated out of the gym into the chilly night while waiting for the fire department to arrive and turn off the alarm.
None of that seemed to deter Chester freshman Ramee Davis Jr. The Clippers and Penn Wood had to wait on the football field in the back of the school before the all clear was given to repopulate the building.
Davis needed a quarter to regain his touch, but once it came, the Clippers’ 6-foot-2 freshman guard scored eight of his game-high 15 points in the fourth quarter to spell the difference in a Chester 54-46 victory.
The Clippers are now 15-7 overall and remain undefeated in the Del-Val with a perfect 8-0 mark, while Penn Wood hangs perilously close to not making the PIAA District 1 Class 6A playoffs for a second-straight year, falling to 8-11 and 4-3 in the league.
