I think the Panthers can snag their first win

Looks like they'll be an interesting time to watch. They like to put the ball in the air, and they've got some good receivers to go and get it.

Let’s talk receivers, of course with it being still early in the season, who do you see as the most promising receiver in berks this year

Mike Drago

12:12

Exeter has the best tandem, with Alex Javier and Devon Scott. They could each end up with 50 catches.

Junior Duffault is off to a fast start at Muhlenberg and will have a big year.

Mike, in our county, there seems to be 2 offensive trains of thought. 1) Ground & Pound and 2) Spread Run & Pass.I feel that, once our teams get into the playoffs, the need to be able to do both is a necessity to get beyond District 3? I understand Wyo won a few years back, but, it seems to me that the teams that are strictly Pass oriented or Ground & Pound, run into some issues come November. What are your thoughts?

Mike Drago

12:13

Red, I think that's the case with most HS programs.

You focus on one thing, and execute it properly.

There's limited practice and study time, so it's tough to have a diversified offense, as you do in the NFL or D1 colleges.

12:14

If you're good enough, you can win it all just running or just passing.

Mike, no extra points this year? I always enjoyed those nuggets of knowledge.

Mike Drago

12:14

Stuff: Thanks for noticing.

Yes, Extra Points will return, probably next week.

12:15

Was crushed this week, doing double duty, covering the Fightin Phils in the playoffs.

Spent most of Monday and Tuesday writing about them, then back to football.

reading high sleeper team ?

Red Knights are no doubt improved.

Also, you've got to look at their schedule.

12:16

Really, no 6A school should be putting Kutztown on the schedule.

Not sure how good Coolidge of DC is, either.

Good chance for another Red Knights win this week against McCaskey, whichis obviously struggling.

12:18

That being said, Red Knights could end up with 5-6 wins, which would be a great turnaround.

If things break right, they could get an 11th game.

Hard to believe that the combined record for Berks Catholic and Governor Mifflin after this weekend could be 1-5

Mike Drago

12:19

That's gonna happen when you schedule the big boys.

Again, credit for doing that, because we get to see some great match-ups.

Saints' games last year against McDonogh, Central Dauphin and Malvern were great to watch.

BC not nearly as strong this year, and McDonogh is much improved.

12:20

McDonogh handled Malvern last week, so that means the Saints are in for a tough night in Baltimore.

WeiserScout

12:21

Any lingering worries for Weiser, starting at 0-2?

Mike Drago

12:21

Obviously there's been a big dropoff for Scouts after last year's championship run.

How big, we'll find out.

12:22

This game against Elizabethtown is pivotal.

If they can rise to the occasion as they did last year, they could turn things around. But it won't be easy. Etown program is on the rise.

Mike Drago

I like that pick; take the points.

Jeff W

12:24

Mike if your contention is that this years Wilson team is better than ‘16, I’ll certainly be happy to enjoy a game in December!

Mike Drago

12:24

I think it could be a close call

I was checking out the 2016 team the other day ; it won D3 title and went 12-2.

It got better as season went along, but had some close ones early in season.
