Echoes of last season still resonate in the gym at Radnor High School.
The 2023 graduating class lifted the Raptors to new heights — a Central League title, District 1 5A championship and state quarterfinals appearance the culmination of a couple years of hardwood dominance. But with Jackson Hicke, Charlie Thornton, Danny Rosenblum and Cooper Mueller off to their respective schools last fall and a new coach taking over in Tim Smallwood, outside expectations dropped significantly for a program that wasn’t traditionally a hoops powerhouse.
Instead, the Radnor boys are back — and, while maybe not better than ever, still pretty darn good. They were impressive in a dismantling of a quality West Chester East side on Monday night, getting contributions from up and down the roster in a 60-35 win.
