Author's Note
The 129th Lower Merion-Radnor Game, the longest-running continuous public high school rivalry in the nation, will take place at 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 1, at Radnor's Prevost Field.
Imagine an oxford-grey sky pouring rain over the muck that was Villanova's football field. And see the boys of Lower Merion and Radnor High Schools, archrivals, primed to win and win only, locked in a soggy, shifting struggle that kept 7,000 water-soaked fans at their seats 'til a ref hollered stop.
Lower Merion won the game 7-6.
Author's summary: Historic rivalry continues.
