Who's the second-best player in the county, Ice?

Vanilla Ice

12:37

Me being the DIII fan that I am, will be heading out to Antietam to watch them against the Bullets tonight. It will be interesting to see how the amounts do against a solid Brandywine team with the second best player in county playing against them.

Mike Drago

This is a different kind of Wilson team; doesn't have the shooters that last championship team did. But these guys really play well together.

12:36

I mean, really great. Haven't seen Bulldogs play that well since they won county title, about five years ago.

12:35

They'll have something to say about it, Matt. Bulldogs looked great at Hempfield.

Matt

12:35

Is this the year the bulldogs finally get that district title.

Mike Drago

12:35

I don't see it, Darren. To do that, you will have to beat two of those three teams in the same week -- possibly all three. So, that would be a stretch.

Darren

12:34

Outside of the obvious (Reading, Wilson, BC) does any other team have a real chance to win the county?

Mike Drago

12:34

You're right about Antietam, but that will change now that league play is here.

Isaiah Egziabher

12:33

But Antietam hasn’t played any competition sir honestly so idk how they are in your top 10 but ok we will keep winning we play tn and tomorrow keep watching ‼️🤘

Mike Drago

12:33

Pequea Valley is 0-10. I don't think you score bonus points for that one.

Guest

12:33

Antietam also played pequea valley, and played a good lancaster country day school

Mike Drago

12:32

Well, it's been that type of season. A lot of good stories out there.

Matt

12:32

Wow Mike were talking Fleetwood Berks Christian Antietam and Muhlenberg in a basketball chat gotta be a first.

Mike Drago

12:32

That being said, if you over-schedule, that can present problems of its own. Losing, and losing big, can affect the psyche of players.

With the power rating system, teams are forced to play as many strong programs as they can if they want to do well in districts.

12:31

Matt referring to comment about Reading and Berks Catholic's schedules

Matt

12:31

In fairness exberkscoach,they can play that schedule everyone else i believe is playing who they should be

Mike Drago

12:30

I hear you, and I apreciate the fact that you want to be included in the rankings. All I can tell is you that your team is under consideration.

Isaiah Egziabher

12:29

I just feel Berks Christian is looked down upon because of being 1a we went to states district semifinals and we are currently 7-1 we deserve more recognition Some of these county schools schedules are worse then ours

Mike Drago

12:28

It's tough for any Class 1A school to get a high power rating, but if you keep winning, win your league, you'll get a chance to prove things in the District 3 playoffs.

12:27

Keep winning, Isaiah, that's how.

Isaiah Egziabher

12:27

So how can Berks Christian get in your top 10 cause we beat Tulphy Hanover and Fairfield while antietam only had played 1a schools Mr. Drago

Mike Drago

12:27

Ice talking about Fleetwood's Tyler Chavoya, who led Berks in 3-pointers last season.

Vanilla Ice

12:26

I’ve seen a lot of Berks basketball and I don’t know how many shooters I have seen like Chavoya. The kid is a dead eye shooter with unlimited range. I’m going to be interested to see where he ends up at the next level. A steal for any coach.

Mike Drago

12:26

And that's why I cover them so much.

ExBerksCoach

12:26

Berks and Reading never duck anyone with their non league scheduling. That's why they are ready come playoff time.

Here's a story written by Mike White of the Tribune about their top player being a potential lottery pick:

Kennedy Christian is an interesting team to watch.

12:25

You're really getting ahead of us here, Matt.

Matt

12:25

In 6a seems like a clear cut Kennedy Catholic Vs Roman for the state title that is gonna make a great game

Mike Drago

12:24

Not sure we had three questions about Fleetwood basketball here the last three years.

Vanilla Ice

12:24

Oh it absolutely is, it is great to see that program taking leaps into the right direction. Sitler is a great coach who I believe finally has players buying into his program and style.

Jason

12:24

It's been 19 years since they have been to districts. If they get in, its an accomplishment

Mike Drago

12:24

Back to Fleetwood . . .

Apparently Constitution doesn't play home games. Too bad; I was hoping to drop by and see the Liberty Bell while I was down there.

That will be played at Ben Franklin High School; JVs start at 5 if you're in the area.

12:23

I'm heading to Philly tonight to take in the game vs. Constitution.

12:22

Challenging is putting it mildly. Three games in three days, two against defending state champs, the other against Backyard Brawl rival Wyomissing. If Saints take 2 out of 3 that'll be big.
