Ten games – and 10 wins – into the 2022-23 season, Radnor entered Saturday without yet having been required to summon much in the way of late-game execution.
To get win No. 11, in the hostile environs of Garnet Valley, that ability was finally tested.
The verdict was good enough for a 56-51 overtime win in a battle of Central League elites, if not yet to the level that the Raptors aspire.
“These are the type of games that we play for,” point guard Danny Rosenblum said. “These are the games you get most excited for and get most ready for.”
It required some steeliness from a veteran-laden group, plus a pair of Jaguars fouling out early and a 6-for-15 day at the free throw line for the hosts to send the Raptors to 11-0.
