Williams, Clark embracing leadership roles for Ridley

By Rich Flanagan

Malachi Williams and Enoch Clark can vividly recall when Ridley was atop the Central League.Behind Julian Wing (DeSales) and Brett Foster, who since has played a season each at East Stroudsburg and Neumann, the Green Raiders won back-to-back Central League titles in 2015 and 2016 and advanced to the District 1 Class 4A semifinals two years ago.

After those two 1,000-point scorers graduated, Ridley came under a new regime led by head coach Kevin Kelly and his two leaders were going to be Williams and Clark. Despite missing the district playoffs a year ago, the experience has been of great benefit for Ridley’s new leaders, though their forerunners have helped fuel the current group.

“In the offseason, they always come back and work out with us,” Williams said of Wing and Foster. “I constantly pick Julian’s brain. I have his number and I call him. I talked to Brett over the summer and he helped me become a better point guard.”

Williams posted 13 points, six rebounds and three steals while Clark led the way with 17 points and six boards Thursday as Ridley steamrolled Interboro, 71-38 in the opening round of the Ridley Holiday Tournament.
