RADNOR — Sean Henry made 11 tackles Friday night for Strath Haven at Prevost Field, some high, some low, none that Ryan Henry hadn’t known was coming.
Ryan Henry rushed for 62 yards for the Panthers in a 54-7 victory over Radnor, some inside, some outside, none to the surprise of Sean Henry.
The twins have only been playing football and doing everything else together since they were born. Together – with help aplenty at every position – they made heavy contributions as the Panthers improved to 6-0 and 5-0 in the Central League.
There’s depth, which Kevin Clancy enjoys.
Then there is the kind of depth that comes in twos.
“They really are good players,” Clancy said. “They are leaders on our team, and every year they have been in the program, they have become better and better. And this year, they have become real leaders and have been invaluable on both the offensive and defensive sides. So it was nice to see them both really contribute tonight.”
On a night when any team churns out a 54-spot, chances are the defense can be lost in the blur. But with Sean Henry being disrupting throughout – along with fellow linebackers Marco Kaufman and Shane Green – the Panthers were able to limit Radnor to 23 rushing yards.
“I think defense is a big part of this team,” Sean said. “It plays a big part because it helps the offense get better opportunities. I just want to thank my teammates for helping me be one-eleventh of that group and to be in the right spot. They force the running backs to bounce out to me, helping me make some tackles.”
The defense in control throughout, Strath Haven smoothly rang out 513 yards of total offense, even on a wet surface. Ten Panthers made rushing contributions, led by James Fisher, who included a 39-yard TD run among his 125 yards.
Radnor was led by Bryce Cohen, who made 12 tackles in the secondary and raced 20 yards down the left side for a second-quarter touchdown. The Raptors managed 79 passing yards, including 45 from Matthew Szychulski to Michael Enright, but it was not enough to avoid falling to 1-5 and 0-3 in the Central.
“Strath Haven is just a machine,” Raptors coach Kyle Yeiter said. “We’ll have to go back to the drawing board. They have been running their offense to perfection for so many years. As a coaching staff, we’ll take a look at what we are doing, scheme it up and move on.”
A 13-yard Fisher ramble put the Panthers at the Radnor 1-yard line, and Green plowed in for an early lead. Fisher added a four-yard score late in the first quarter, before Cohen answered in the second, drawing the Raptors within 12-7.
