The eighth time was a charm for West Chester Henderson’s seniors on Saturday as they finally got the better of Conestoga in the District 1 Class 4A final at Great Valley High School.
Frank DeRosa opened the scoring in the 11th minute for Henderson, which had outscored opponents 12-1 entering the District title match on Saturday, and kept forcing the issue, eventually finding a second goal by Zach Roberts in the 40th minute.
Senior captain Maxwell Zandi, who had an assist on the second goal, and the defense did the rest to shut down Conestoga’s potent attack and set off a celebration at the final whistle with the crowded student section near the bench.
