reading high upset mifflin ?

Mike Drago

12:39

I don't know, is it an upset when a 4-0 team beats a 1-3 team?

Just kidding. Yes, that would be an upset.

12:40

Not sure Reading has improved that much, but it should be an interesting game.

Good win last week by my Spartans against Blue Mountain; it was a bit lethargic at times, but the boys took care of business and secured the win. Not expecting much this week against West York- they have been struggling so far this season. I hope that it’ll give us the chance to get the back-ups and JV kids some reps in front of an excited Spartan crowd at the A Field. Interesting article about Kutztown this morning- last week I was actually wondering to myself how long the administration could allow them to continue. I feel bad for the kids as it can’t be fun getting 76 put on you in a half. Curious if they’ll have enough players available for the game against us and against BC. Tough situation all around.

BC game is three weeks away, so, for Kutztown, that's still a long time.

They're right on the edge, roster-wise. As you saw last week, they lose a couple kids in a game and they're done.

Bob Dylan thinks Fleetwood is on the same page as Wyo and BC...he must be breathing in the good stuff.

i know years ago Wyomissing played Mifflin for 1 year i believe.......ever a chance of seeing Wyomissing play Wilson or Reading High ??

Mike Drago

12:42

You have a good memory. That Mifflin/Wyo game was about 20 years ago.

I don't see Wyo ever playing Wilson.

Reading High . . . hard to say. Pretty sure they've never played.

96. The year i graduated Lol

Mike Drago

12:43

I'm right, then it was 23 years ago. For some reason I remember Andy Wolfrum playing in that game for Wyo, right?

12:44

No, it was 1995

just looked it up

Wyomissing won 14-7

12:45

Not sure how that game came about. Played once, then never again.

What kind of numbers did James Develin put up at Boyertown? Berks GameDay only goes back to 2006.

Mike Drago

12:45

He was a lineman at Boyertown. I doubt he ever touched the ball.

Back to Wyo/Mifflin trivia

James Dean

12:46

Wyomissing could easily hang with Reading High. Wilson, not so much, but if it doesnt count i think the challenge would be great. I would have loved to see the 2012 state team beat up Wilson that year.

Mike Drago

12:46

That would've been an awesome game.

Tom Silva

12:46

Do you believe BC will ever get back to the elite level they were the last 4-5 years? Or is it downhill from here?

Mike Drago

12:46

I have no doubt they'll have teams as good as 2018, 2017, 2016, etc.

12:47

You saw what happened this past winter: When it was obvious the program was in need at certain spots, kids transferred in.

That won't stop.

James Dean

12:47

BC is still a very good team. They just dont have the Lutz brothers anchoring them right now. They played high quality teams, they are far from done.

Mike Drago

12:47

I think that's a pretty young BC team right now. Lots of sophs and a couple freshman playing.

Imago

12:48

But don't you think those kids will continue to get blocked by their previous schools?

Mike Drago

12:48

If they transfer before the 10th grade, I don't think they can be blocked.

Fbfan

Ross Tucker as well

Mike Drago

12:49

On the '95 Wyo team. Well, that explains it, the Spartans were using a pro. No wonder Mifflin lost.

Rob

When it comes to scheduling games, and I know this is outside Berks, but I could see some Berks teams doing this to even the playing field when for example Kutztown plays a BC, Reading or Wyo... Southern Columbia has already had two games this year where they switched their opponents to another team, obviously with all participants agreeing to the switch. How are they able to do that?

Mike Drago

12:50

Wyo actually did it, that's how the North Schuylkill game came about.

I believe Wyo was scheduled to play Trinity, and NS was scheduled to play a team it would easily beat.

So, NS made the offer to switch.

Not sure of the timing; happened sometime in the offseason.
