Every football season brings with it a sense of optimism and purpose. All of us associated with Radnor football both on the field and off, have reason for both as we enter the 2008 season, and we look forward to being a force to be reckoned with in the Central League.

Regardless of the level of football being played, commitment is the key to any successful season. Throughout our off season, the signs of commitment were visible throughout the community. Nowhere was this support more notable than the Prevost Field playing surface project. The off season was filled with many hours of planning meetings, public discourse and fund raising, all culminating in the completion of a project that will be the pride of Radnor for many years to come. I am truly appreciative of all the work done by the Turf’s Up! Committee, the Radnor Township School District, Radnor Township, and the contributors to the project. It is truly gratifying as a coach to be involved with a community that is so passionate about the quality of life of it’s residents and the caliber of it’s facilities, and both are second to none.    

The Central League is recognized as one of the most competitive leagues in Pennsylvania, and we are poised to improve upon our results of prior seasons.  We return a core group of experienced players on both sides of the ball, led by team captains Tyler Andersen, Max Lucki, Danny Schmader, and Richard Yespelkis. Throughout the off season workouts, these players set an example of commitment for their teammates on and off the field, and are ready to leave their mark on Radnor football in their senior season. Many returning players from last year’s team will see action this year, and will mix with several players from last years’ Junior Varsity and very successful Freshman squads who will move up to Varsity status. All of our players have a year of familiarity with the terminology and schemes of our playbook. The combination of experience and athleticism is expected to result in a successful season.

 Let’s make every game a sellout, and be loud and proud of our commitment to Radnor football!

LET’S GO RAIDERS!!!

First and foremost is the installation of a new all- season synthetic playing surface and renovation of the track on Prevost  Field.  The completion of this project truly represents all that makes Radnor a vibrant community.  Another unique public and private sector collaboration resulted in an amenity that will be used by a wide range of high school, youth and recreational sports programs for many seasons to come. All of us who call Radnor home can be justifiably proud of not only our new field, but also the efforts of all the members of the Turf’s Up! Committee, the Radnor Township School Board, the Radnor Township Board of Commissioners, the Radnor Educational Foundation and each and every individual donor.  Without their collective vision, diligence and generosity this project would not have become a reality.
