Boys Basketball: Districts Preview – Ridley to tangle with familiar foe Methacton - PA

Ridley and Methacton know plenty about each other ahead of Friday’s opener in the District One Tournament. But one of the biggest things both teams know is that the recent history between the schools only means so much.

In the seventh-place playback game last year, the Warriors tipped Ridley, 46-41, both teams heading to states. It’s enough familiarity for each team to have a good idea what will be in store when No. 17 Methacton travels to No. 16 Ridley Friday.

But Ridley coach Mike Snyder also knows that this year’s teams are drastically different from the teams that squared off a season ago.

The Green Raiders (13-8, 9-7 Central) retain only a handful of contributors from last year’s team. Only three players on the current roster played against Methacton last year, with Brett Foster’s six points the only entry to the score sheet.

The 2013-14 Methacton (15-8, 12-3 Pioneer Athletic Conference) squad has also experienced significant turnover from the senior-laden group that made an undefeated league run last season.
