The District 1 5A boys’ quarterfinals take place this Wednesday, four games that not only will determine who gets through to the semifinals, but also four of the six state bids from the district. The four losers won’t be done for the season; they’ll go into the playback rounds, with the two winners of those games also making it to states.
Here’s a look at all four games:
1) Radnor vs. 9) Marple Newtown (7 PM)
It’s a Central League rematch at the top of the bracket, which means Marple Newtown knows just what’s ahead of it in Radnor, which has been arguably the Team of the Year so far in Southeastern Pa. The Raptors are a perfect 24-0, not just beaten but stomping on most of their opponents, including in both games against Marple this season, which ended 61-40 and 60-36 in Radnor’s favor.
