Radnor added 57 points to its cumulative score in a recent competition at Chichester with Ridley High School. The visiting teams started off strong but Radnor took a commanding lead by the end of the first half. Only the host team answered the Toss-up Sports question correctly, positioning itself for a second place finish against Ridley. The Raiders, however, staved off Chichester in their quest for points, as season rankings are predicated on cumulative points. Final Scores: Radnor 57; Ridley 33; Chichester 23
Home field advantage worked to Sun Valley’s favor in their matchup with Penn Wood High and Valley Forge Military Academy. Much of the student body came out to support the Vanguards, which picked up an impressive six bonus points during the course of the competition and showed particular strength in the science categories. Penn Wood was the only school to correctly answer the Toss-up Sports question. VFMA’s strength lays with American History, Government, and Current Events. Sun Valley emerged victorious in the competition despite losing two points in an unsuccessful appeal. Final Scores: Sun Valley 27; Penn Wood 14; VFMA 10
