Good morning. Chat will kick off at noon today. You can begin logging your comments and questions now.

12:00

Good afternoon.

We'll get started shortly.

12:02

OK, time to get started.

Week 4.

It's been a great opening month, and this weekend is shaping up as a good one.

I'll be covering Wilson vs Manheim Central Friday night at Gurski.

Working on preview story for Friday's Eagle.

12:03

MC coach Dave Hahn had some interesting things to say about his team after last week's loss.

Should make for a great Friday night at Gurski.

Saturday, I'll be at Wyomissing, to watch the Spartans play an unbeaten Blue Mountain team.

Blue Mountain, which also runs the Wing-T, has given the Spartans a tough time the last couple of years.

12:04

One thing I want to talk about today is the Eagle's football coverage, and how that has changed this season, due to deadline changes.

I thought someone would bring it up last week, or the week before, but no one did.

12:05

Just want to make sure everyone knows that the same full game stories you were used to seeing in the Saturday print edition can now be found on-line, at readingeagle.com.

Those stories will start popping up on-line around midnight, or shortly after, as the writers finish them.

The box scores can be found on berksgameday.com, about the same time.

12:06

The boxscores for Friday games can also be found in the Sunday print edition of the Reading Eagle, along with a new feature, "Weekend Wrap," which will bring you up to date on what happened Friday night.

Ok, let's take some questions.

BIg Time

12:06

Will BC make the playoffs?

Mike Drago

12:06

Great question.

And, the answer is yes.

12:07

Keep in mind that the loss to McDonogh, and the upcoming game against Malvern Prep, do not count in the power ratings.

They are not PIAA schools, so they don't count toward the playoffs.

12:08

Playoff-wise, BC is 1-1 right now should be able to finish 7-1 or 8-2 (minus the non-PIAA opponents).

Mike

12:08

Fleetwood plays BC this year correct ? If so, this could be the year they can knock them off!

Mike Drago

12:08

I suppose if there's a year it can happen, this would be it.

But we're a long way off from that.

Not about to make that call.

12:09

Still believe the Saints are going to figure things out shortly.

Kyle

12:09

I have got Kutztown in an upset this week. What do you think?

Mike Drago

12:09

Don't bet the rent money on it.

District fan

12:09

Do you think wyomissing has a chance this year against Middletown? The past couple years have ended rough to them

Mike Drago

12:09

I think Wyo has a better chance this year against Middletown than in the past couple.

12:10

Hard to figure out Middletown at this point.

Just beat Bishop McDevitt 6-2, which, I suppose, is a good win.

Opened against Lower Dauphin and won 34-12. Not exactly a blowout. Exeter dominated LD last week, completely.

Imago

12:11

What makes you believe BC is going to figure things out other than just looking at their history? If you don't have the horses, you're not gonna ride very far. And they simply don't have the horses.

Mike Drago

12:11

I don't know about that. Abdul MacFoy and Nolan Larkin are two of the fastest backs in the league.

Make a little open space, just a crack, and they're in the house.
