The boys basketball team at Radnor had the kind of season that required multiple trips to the archives. It was the only source of relevant context for its accomplishments.
So many of the Raptors’ achievements begged the question of, “when was the last time?” That led to dusting off the record books, especially to find a way to describe how unprecedented the Central League and District 1 Class 5A champions’ season was.
One day, might a shot of the current squad be so venerated? Will what they’re doing be frozen in amber as the standard to which future teams are held?
“That would be awesome,” Jackson Hicke said. “There’s certainly potential for that. What we did this year was memorable and kind of hard to replicate in however many years to come. I think we’ve earned it, to be recognized throughout the years and leave a lasting mark, for sure. We hope it’s a bar we set for future teams and that’s something they try to attain.”
