One way or the other, Saturday was going to be a reset for Radnor’s boys basketball team.
The squad convened for practice Friday after four wins in 12 games, including seven winless in the Central League. Somehow, a mostly new group had to devise ways to shake off those disappointments.
“We’ve had a pretty rough go in the first couple of games in the Central League, and we came into practice yesterday and we were like, all right, new season,” wing Zach Niederer said. “It’s 0-0. Let’s just win as many games as we can. Focus on now, don’t worry about what just happened.”
That ability to shake off struggles in the long run came in handy on a smaller scale Saturday, for Radnor and Niederer.
Radnor led Upper Darby for three quarters, then trailed by six points in the final minute before Niederer’s 3-pointer with 2.8 seconds left gave the Raptors a 57-56 win.
