As the Radnor's football season came to a close on Friday. What's next? A time of reflection, rest, and preparation for another playoff run in 2020. For head coach Tom Ryan, the reflection and rest take a bit of a back seat to preparation for next year. On Saturday after the game, I sat down with Coach Ryan to discuss Friday's game, the season, and the outlook going forward.

The season might be over, but the work never stops. We have a really great group of returners in 2020 and are starting to plan for next year first thing next week. These guys are hungry for more and are ready to put in the offseason work.

Wow. That is a great mind set. It is really exactly what you want to see in a head coach. 

Radnor closed off its 2018 season with a playoff win against Marple Newtown, and while this season did not end with the same fireworks, there is a lot to be pleased with from the team. The linebacker crew showed significant improvement, recording 118 tackles in 2019 vs. 77 in 2018, 81 in 2017, and 55 in 2016.

Radnor tied up the all time series with Lower Merion with a 49-6 rout of the Bulldogs

Jamir Dixon continued to stretch the field, finishing with the most touchdowns of any wide receiver in Delaware County, and will return to the Raiders in 2020.

The key pieces are in place, and while the loss of the class of 2020 will certainly hurt, the Raiders look like they will bounce back strong in 2020.

I would like to take a minute to tell you about DEVOUR™  Foods frozen Carnivore pizzas. Whether you love deep dish, thin crust, or Sicilian, we can all agree on one pizza truth: more meat is better. That's why we created The Carnivore, the ultimate meat lovers' pizza. We started with the trifecta: ITALIAN SAUSAGE, APPLEWOOD SMOKED BACON, and diced PEPPERONI. We loaded these meats onto our buttery crispy thick crust, added a punch of our zesty tomato sauce and ooey, GOOEY MOZZARELLA cheese. So get ready to unleash your inner carnivore. We won't judge you if you growl. 

 In addition, Radnor has promising young prospects coming up off of the freshmen and JV squads, so do not sleep on the future of this team. The loss of lineman Patrick Boujoukos will hurt, but he has instilled a hungry culture on the line that will benefit the team for years to come.

The sting of the loss hurts now for the Raiders, but to quote my favorite band of all time, Semisonic, "every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end, yeah. I know who would want to take me home. I know who would want to take me home. I know who would want to take me home, take me home."

Chet's Corner - Radnor's Win Streak Should Still Be Alive

By
This content is proudly Brought to you by The folk's at the Radnor Rundown who is currently looking for sponsor. Please contact us if you are interest.  Unles you live under, the rock at the corner of N Radnor Chester Road And Raider Road, you should be aware that Radnor Basketball’s Impressive winning streek came to an end this week. On the surface it would appeer that George School was the one’s to serve them up a L, but anyone who was at the game know that it was actually the officiating crew that was responsible for the streak to being snapped. In my one months of covering High school Basket ball I have never seen such a disgraceful display of refereeeing. I wanted to be hesistent to blame the ref’s but HOW could I be after that? They are directly responsible for this loss. Radnor’s won streak was impressive nonetheless, and so after some research I have come up with a list of things shorter than their streak. To give Perspective. So without further a do. 1. Ed’s marriag...

I received an anonymous tip about a HUGE story that no one is talking about. You won't hear about this story from the "main stream media". You won't hear about this in the fake Russian bot articles that your uncle posts on Face book. You won't hear about this on whatever podcast you listen to, especially if it's a podcast about Radnor football that only published one episode and quit. You won't hear about this anywhere else except for your #1 source for hard hitting Journalism on the Main Line - The Radnor Rundown. My friends, it is with great sincerity that I am reporting to you that parallel universes do, in fact, exist. Allow me to explain. Chances are, you m...

Central League Football Bubble? Who Say's No?

I don't know about you guys (and girls), but I am JONESIN' for some high school foot ball. If this were any normal year, I'd be busy  hiding in the bushes  scouting training camps throughout the region to defend my title as Radnor Rundown First-Team Radnor Football Insider. But due to corovid-19, I am stuck at home watching re-runs of American classics such as Ridiculousness and Man vs. Food (ONLY the Adam Richman episodes).  As you all know, the Central League made the disappointing decision to postpone fall sports last Friday, contrary to what I was hearing from my friends at the Wawa in Wayne. My Journalism style is entirely bassed on keeping my ear to the ground and my finger on the pulse of the great people of Radnor, but I need to do a better job of vetting my sources. That's something that the Ethics Committee at Radnor Rundown told me I need to work on, and I will. Believe me, I don't take this job lightly. However, that will not stop me from braindumping my...
