There was a business sense in their eyes during layup drills and pre-game warmups. That translated quickly to the court. Imhotep Charter star Justin Edwards scored his 21st point with 3:14 left in the first half Friday night against Radnor in the PIAA Class 5A second round state playoff game at Coatesville.
Radnor was still stuck on 16 at the time.
That pretty much said all you needed to know.
Imhotep Charter (25-4) hardly gave Radnor any room to breathe, stomping on the Raptors early towards a 62-39 playoff victory to advance to the quarterfinal round of the state playoffs against Marple Newtown, 56-48 winners over Mastery Charter North, on Tuesday at a site and time to be determined. 
Radnor (22-4) saw a very successful season come to an end.
This is getting closer to what legendary Imhotep coach Andre Noble envisioned at the start of the season.
“We’re playing very well right now,” Noble said. “I thought that first half we were lights out shooting the ball, and with our ball movement. When we move and share the ball, we’re an elite team. We have guys who can go through and that goes to what we did in the first half.
