On a cold winter night in January, why sit home when you can find a gym 10 minutes away and watch a couple of basketball games?

I imagine I'll be doing that even if I retire.

If I retire.

High school sports is a $5 adrenaline rush. Can't beat the thrills for the price.

Tom Silva

There are just too many blowouts and uneven games. I think there is more and more of it so there is less interest On either side of the winning and losing team.

Mike Drago

12:27

True, there are a lot, but we generally know that ahead of time. Pick a game that's not gonna be a blowout.

It's not a big deal to me to drive 20-30 to watch a game.

Fleetwood is 4-0. I think they should be getting looked at more than they are currently. I think they are on the same level as Wyomissing and they are state ranked.

Mike Drago

12:28

By "looked at" you really mean written about, don't you Bob?

Yes mike

Mike Drago

12:30

Maybe you could write a song about the Tigers.

Fleetwood is doing great, but they are riding the wave...tons of hype there. I still don't think they can beat BC and Wyo

Bill B

12:31

Best AAU b-ball team in the county?

Mike Drago

12:31

Talk about getting ahead of yourself ...

Basketball chat won't debut for three more months, Bill

HS football is becoming the have's and have not's. Went to Pope John Paul/Schuykill Valley Game 52-0 at the half, PJP could have scored 100 if they didn't call of the dogs....then I heard the Kutztown score

Mike Drago

12:32

That's nothing new, Big.

12:32

i feel bad for the kutztown kids but they should just fold the team before someone gets hurt badly

Imago

12:32

Regarding the Kutztown football article - the administrators are in denial. Having a team that depleted and bad offers very little - to the community, to its opponents, to the few players they have. It's borderline reckless to keep fielding a team like that every year.

Mike Drago

12:33

After talking to the AD, it didn't sound like they're ready to give up: https://www.readingeagle.com/sports/article/winless-cougars-not-ready-...

To your comment last week about the new printing schedule, the Saturday morning football coverage is missed, but we live in the digital age, so....that being said, strong news and notes column this week.....any chance of getting more around the state tidbits? I recall you used to have a similar column.

Mike Drago

12:34

Thanks, Imago

There's so much going on in Berks I haven't looked around the state much.

As we get closer to the playoffs, I will

Fbfan

12:34

Could the PIAA or someone ever step in and force Kutztown to disband the team due to safety ?

Mike Drago

12:34

I've never heard of such a thing.

kahuna

12:35

Kutztown should play the Nativities and the rest of the "A" schools, get some confidence, get they numbers up and then regroup

Mike Drago

12:35

Still not sure why they scheduled Reading High.

James Dean

12:35

Why is Daniel Boone struggling? I would think with the amount of kids they have that they could field a pretty good team.

Mike Drago

12:36

Not sure. I'll learn more Friday. I'll be covering the Fleetwood/Boone game. Haven't seen either team yet.

Imago

12:36

Can you imagine the uproar if the Maddocks brothers had showed up at BC instead of Oley/Fleetwood?

Mike Drago

12:36

Yes.

spartan pride

12:37

interesting stat for you guys, 21 of 22 starters for wyo have gone to wyo since elementary school.

Mike Drago

12:37

Interesting. I'll have to fact-check that one, but it's probably true.

BIg Time

12:37

Best game to watch this week is....

Mike Drago

12:38

Not the greatest of schedules, this week.

Game of the Week, no doubt, is Saturday: Reading vs Mifflin

We'll find out a lot about both teams.
