It took Radnor a little while to get its offense in gear. Once it did there was no stopping the undefeated Raptors in the opening round of the PIAA Class 5A boys basketball tournament Friday night.
Radnor used a 43-point second half to pull away for a 70-59 victory over Warwick.
The District 1 champion Raptors (28-0) will take on the winner of Saturday’s game between District 2 runnerup West Scranton (14-11) and West Philadelphia (15-11) the No. 3 seed out of District 12. in the second round. That game was moved from Friday night due to the weather.
Radnor poured in 25 points in the third quarter to turn a 28-27 halftime deficit into a 52-41 advantage heading into the final period.
Jackson Hicke poured in a game-high 30 points to lead Radnor. He shot 12-for-18 from the field overall (2-for-5 from 3-point range) and was 4-for-5 at the free throw line. Hicke also pulled down nine rebound and handed out two assists. Jackson Gaffney add 17 points on 6-for-8 shooting (3-for-4 from deep) and 2-for- 3 at the charitv stripe.
