Lots of good games between then and now.

We'll do it again next week.

Thanks for all the great questions, except that one about hot dogs.

Anyway, we're well into the second OT here, so it's time to get out.

Guest, you must be new to these Chats, because I've been railing against this silly setup for years.

That's funny, and a good way to take this out.

1:06

Hah!

Guest

1:06

do you think the format for playoffs should be changed

Mike Drago

1:06

Probably never . . . but I'll have to look that up.

What was the last time Reading didnt make it to the Semi's?

Mike Drago

1:05

Spartans have played a pretty good schedule, with losses to Cedar Crest, Muhlenberg and Mennonite

1:04

A year away from a pretty good team.

Steve

Thoughts on Wyomissing?

Mike Drago

1:04

No, it's happened before, when Reading won Berks I and the No. 8 seed was the Berks III runner-up.

MC Hammer

It's absurd that Reading could play a Section 3 team in the first round

Mike Drago

1:03

Under this silly format, it's best to be the No. 2 seed. You open against No. 7, then play 3/6 winner.

No. 7, as I said, means they would play BC

No. 6 would be good; they would like the Berks III champ

Might be No. 6 or 7

1:02

Reading High is the wild card here. Is Knights lose to say, Lower Merion, Wilson, Lincoln, come in at 14-8 . . . Well, I don't think they'll be the No. 4 or 5 . . .

1- Wilson 2- Berks 3- Brandywine 4- Reading 5- Muhl 6- Fleetwood 7- Exeter 8- Kutztown

Mike Drago

Not saying it's gonna happen, but it's possible.

12:59

So, you could have the two teams that have met in county final last three years playing a quarterfinal . . .

12:58

Here's an interesting scenario: Let's say Reading takes a few more losses and comes in at No. 7. It would open against No. 2, which is likely Berks Catholic.

12:57

Go for it, Ex

ExBerksCoach

12:56

I'll take a stab at it...

Mike Drago

No matter how you draw it up, though, Wilson, Berks Catholic and Reading figure to be in the semifinal at Santander.

12:56

Plus, Berks III is a complete question mark. The Berks III champ will be the No. 3 seed, and that will have huge impact on the way the bracket plays out.

12:55

The seedings for the five non-division winners are based on power ratings, so Reading could come in at No. 5 or 6

12:54

Really impossible to say right now, because Reading's off to a rough start, Muhlenberg, Fleetwood, Brandywine off to great starts.

12:53

Wow, only a month to go? I thought we were just getting started here.

Matt

12:53

A month to go any thoughts on who makes the berks playoffs. I am sure there will be some upsets along the way.

Luis Garcia has been unreal to start the seesom
