• Radnor's Search for a District Courthouse Stalls After Wayne Proposal Fails (delco.today) — Radnor Township officials have scrapped plans to turn a former Wayne veterinary office into a new magisterial district courthouse after strong neighborhood opposition over traffic, parking, and proximity to homes. With the court still operating in Newtown Square, the township now faces tight county budget limits, zoning hurdles, and residents' mixed feelings about whether the court should return to Radnor at all.

• H.S. Football: Another shutout merely meets expectation for Ridley at Radnor (centredaily.com) — Radnor football fans watched the Raptors struggle at home as Ridley rolled to a 38-0 win, handing Radnor its fourth loss of the season. Despite a standout interception and some late offensive flashes, Radnor's attack never found rhythm, while Ridley's defense and deep running game controlled the night and highlighted the work Radnor still needs to turn things around.
