Football: Bingnear’s interception seals a must-win for Ridley

RIDLEY TWP. >> The best way for Radnor to keep quarterback Pat McDermott against Ridley’s stout defensive line was to get him on the move early and often. Only a handful of McDermott’s 24 pass attempts featured him standing stationary in the pocket, so when Radnor faced fourth-and-11 down a touchdown to Ridley with less than three minutes to go, Sean Bingnear knew what to expect. Bingnear knew McDermott would be on the move and he knew there’d be a good chance the throw would be headed to Justin DiCarlo. From there, the Green Raiders’ senior free safety went to work.

“(DiCarlo) came out and did the flood (concept) like they’d been doing all game,” Bingnear said. “We were in Cover 2 and I just stepped in front of the pass.”

Bingnear hauled in the pass, essentially cementing a 28-21 Ridley win at Phil Marion Field that ended the Green Raiders’ two-game losing skid. It took some doing, though, to put away a pesky Radnor squad missing several key players. Do-it-all athlete Jack Wilson and All-Delco linebacker Dario Falcone were the latest additions to the injury list. It didn’t hurt Ridley’s chances, though, that Malik Young went off on the ground.
