Here's a look at Delaware County's free-throw shooting leaders for the 2011-12 season, with only two stipulations to make the cut: Players must have attempted an average of four free throws per game (88 for a 22-game season and so on) and must have knocked down at least 50 percent of them.

Without further ado, your leaders:

75.4 ... Kevin Gladstone, Haverford (98-130, 22 G)
75.3 ... Jerry Price, Penn Wood (61-81, 20 G)
73.2 ... Ryan Kelly, Garnet Valley (71-97)
71.5 ... Shawn Church, Ridley (63-88, 22 G)
69.2 ... Ryan Furst, Marple Newtown (72-104, 22 G)
68.1 ... Rob Pittman, Chichester (96-141, 19 G)
67.6 ... Alec Stavetski, Arch. Carroll (71-105, 21 G)
65.9 ... Malcolm Richardson, Penn Wood (56-86, 21 G)
64.2 ... John Fender, Strath Haven (68-106, 22 G)
63.3 ... Yosef Yacob, Arch. Carroll (76-120, 22 G)
62.4 ... Rondae Jefferson, Chester (73-117, 22 G)

55.4 ... Sammy Foreman, Haverford School (51-92, 22 G)
51.6 ... George Walker, Glen Mills (62-120, 22 G)

Well, reigning Central League MVP Shawn Church finally made a choice regarding his college recruitment: He hasn't picked a school.

The reason? Church, a 6-4 senior forward at Ridley, told me Thursday night that he will pursue the prep-school route in an attempt to improve his test scores and his college recruitment. Delaware County's second-leading scorer, Church averages 18..4 points per game.

Ridley coach Mike Snyder said Haverford coach Keith Heinerichs, Church's former coach at Ridley, will aid in the process.

"We're looking into that for him," said Snyder. "His AAU coach and Keith and I are going to help with that. There was Division I interest in the summer, but no offers. The AAU team he was playing for was loaded, so he was getting big-time schools looking at him. His grades aren't the strongest, so I think he's going to do the prep-school thing. He loves basketball and we want to help him get to the next level."

It had been believed that Church, the 11th player in Ridley history to eclipse the 1,000-point plateau, was a Division I talent. While Snyder and Church confirmed that much, it'll take another year before we know where Church is taking his talents.

After Thursday's game, Haverford big man Kevin Gladstone told me he's narrowed his choices to four Division III schools: Wilkes, Gettysburg, Elizabethtown and DeSales. Gladstone, who averages 12 points per game, is a 6-4 forward.

I've been told Chester junior Rondae Jefferson has been offered a scholarship by Temple, while Glen Mills senior Raheem Harvey has not, though Harvey has been spotted at two Temple games this season.

Jefferson, one of the county's best players, has missed four of the Clippers' last six games due to what Chester coaches have termed "dehydration and exhaustion." Harvey is fresh off his second triple-double of the season, posting 22 points, 22 rebounds and 10 blocked shots Thursday night in a win over Chichester.

Everyone at Ridley knows what Friday is.

It's more than the end of the Green Raiders' school week. It's more than their fourth Central League game. It's bragging rights.

Ridley (3-3, 1-2) travels to Haverford (3-2, 1-2) Friday night for a meeting with a familiar face. Former Ridley coach Keith Heinerichs (pictured), a Haverford resident, left the Green Raiders following last season to take the top spot with the Fords.

“I’m thinking this is going to be a big game," said Shawn Church, Ridley's high-scoring power forward. "(Heinerichs) teaches here still. I’ll be in his (U.S. history) class next semester."

Heinerichs coached Church and Dan Staiber, Ridley's only returning starters from last season, for three seasons. In 11 seasons at Ridley, Heinerichs posted a 183-104 record (.638 win percentage), guided the Raiders to four District One Class AAAA playoff berths in his final five seasons and matched the program's deepest run in 2007-08, when they reached the PIAA quarterfinals.

“That should be a little extra element to it," said Mike Snyder, Ridley's first-year coach who was a longtime assistant for Heinerichs. "Keith coached Dan and Shawn for three years. Should be fun. We text. We keep in touch. We try not to share too much. I’m sure he’s feeling how I’d be feeling -- a little odd, you know?"

Heinerichs will have more than Ridley to worry about. After posting 10 winning records in 11 seasons at Ridley, Heinerichs took on the Fords, who had posted four winning seasons in their past 14 years.

"I think it'll be awkward," Heinerichs said of the game. "I don't know what divorce feels like, but I imagine this will be a lot like that. It's like moving on with your life, but you're still around people you care about.

"I see Dan and Shawn and Derrick (Dawson) every day. I wrote Matt Zang a recommendation two weeks ago. This game is going to be a lot of fun."

If Haverford is going to bring home a win for Heinerichs, count on Kevin Gladstone - who scored 19 points Tuesday after missing the first five games of the year due to injury - and Pat Morgan, who's averaging 10 points per game.
