It marked the third consecutive season that Haverford has beaten Ridley.
“All the stuff that you go through in the summer to get here,” Romanofsky said, “it all pays off.”
Romanofsky wasn’t the star Friday night, one week after he racked up a career-high 138 yards in a 24-12 decision over Radnor, but he was the thunder to quarterback Jack Donaghy’s lightning.
