SPRINGFIELD'S RUTECKI ATOP DELCO'S FREE-THROW SHOOTING LEADERBOARD

OK, folks. Since everyone loves stats, I've compiled a blog post for the stat-hungry basketball junkies out there.

Here's a list of Delaware County's finest free-throw shooters this season, with only two stipulations: The player must have attempted at least 50 foul shots AND they must have made at least 60 percent of them. (Otherwise, the list would stretch from here to the Jersey shore.)

So here's your leaderboard through Wednesday's games:

(Minimum 50 attempts, 60 percent efficiency)

DELCO'S SCORING LEADERS: CLOSE RACE

Here's a look at Delco's top 10 leading scorers, through Wednesday's games.

(Through Wednesday)


Name, School ... Avg (Point, Games)


1. Chuck Dorsey, Academy Park ... 20.2 ppg (121 p, 6 g)
2. Malcolm Richardson (right), Penn Wood...19.0 ppg (95p,5g)
3. Shawn Church, Ridley ... 18.8 ppg (169 p, 9 g)
4. Alec Stavetski, Arch. Carroll ... 15.0 ppg (75 p, 5 g)
5. Rob Pittman, Chichester ... 14.5 ppg (116 p, 8 g)
6. Ryan Furst, Marple Newtown ... 14.4 ppg (130 p, 9 g)
7. Matt Fox, Springfield ... 13.8 ppg (110 p, 8 g)
8. George Walker, Glen Mills ... 13.7 ppg (82 p, 6 g)
9. John Fender, Strath Haven ... 13.4 ppg (94 p, 7 g)
10. Tyree Bynum, Penn Wood ... 12.6 ppg (63 p, 5 g)
CLOSE CALLS: Ryan Kelly (Garnet Valley) and Mike McKale (Springfield) each average 12.3 ppg and Pat McGee (Marple Newtown) averages 12.0 ppg.

Some things to consider here:
**It's a three-horse race. Beyond Dorsey, Richardson and Church (pictured), there's a great disparity in the players' averages.
**Penn Wood has two representatives in the top 10, in Richardson and Bynum.
***Glen Mills' Raheem Harvey does not qualify because he hasn't played in two-thirds of his team's games. The 6-8 center, who missed four games, is averaging 26.5 ppg through two games, however.

One final note: The location and time of Chester's game New Year's Day against Christ the King (N.Y.) have changed. The game, between teams that opened the season ranked in nearly every national poll, tips off at 7:45 p.m. at Widener.
