Looking forward to seeing Berks Catholic playing at Abington Heights Saturday afternoon. Challenging week for BC.

Everything is relative, Ice. Fleetwood already has more wins than it did in any of the last three seasons, and it's just a 4 or 5 wins away from securing a district playoff berth. So, that's a big move up for Tigers.

Saw the Tigers play against Brandywine in their holiday tournament, was not that impressed. They live or die by the 3. Great players just don’t see them as a power.

Very glad to hear Wesley Butler getting the well deserved recognition. Was easy to get lost in the shuffle with LW4, Nesby, and even Mauras in his younger days, but still managed to impact the game then by being the one of the smartest players on the floor.

Wes will only see the offers increase as the year goes on. Only the beginning.

Mike Drago

Schedule was much better last few years, but apparently there was an administrative snafu this year with the scheduling.

12:18

Mounts coach Mike Green not happy about the light schedule his team has played to date.

Wrote about Antietam's unbeaten start today: https://www.readingeagle.com/sports/article/mike-dragos-boys-high-scho...

Long way to go.

12:17

Both teams ranked No. 1 in the district in their respective classes, so that's great to see.

12:16

Mounts have much higher power rating, plus they beat Linville by 31, Berks Christian beat Linville by 8. That's the only common opponent to date.

12:15

It's a point worth considering, Isaiah, but right now I still think Antietam has the stronger resume.

Isaiah Egziabher

12:15

Why isn’t Berks Christian basketball talked about more our schedule is better Antietam how are they in your top 10 and they beat all 1a schools and we beat 3a public schools and a school in their league that isn't right Mr. Drago

Mike Drago

12:14

I know he likes hoops, but haven't heard from him lately.

Jason

12:14

I guess TigersRule hasn't hung around for basketball season

Mike Drago

What doesn't show up in the box scores are the intangibles, such as academics and character, and he's off the charts there. College coaches will see that and be drawn to him.

12:13

If you've seen Wes play, you know he's got an all-around game.

12:12

More to come for Wes, I'm sure.

Vanilla Ice

12:12

Great to see Wesley Butler getting some attention from colleges with his recent offers from Penn State and Kutztown, it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Mike Drago

12:12

Yes, that's not ideal to be in a tournament with a league rival

Jason

12:12

It's weird they played Exeter in a holiday tournament

Mike Drago

12:12

Defense is the key, Hammer. Last year they didn't play any.

MC Hammer

12:11

Muhlenberg looked really good- they've come a long way over the past couple years. Pardon the pun, but they hammered the Spartans. Really shoot well from deep- played good defense

Mike Drago

12:11

Everyone else the Muhls have played is right around .500

12:10

McCaskey probably the best team they've played so far, right John?

JOHN

12:09

Muhls blew a 6 point lead with a min left in opener or would be undefeated also.

Mike Drago

12:09

I'm glad you're enjoying it, ice; I'm sort of feeling my way through at this point. Lot of new gadgets here.

Vanilla Ice

12:09

Enjoying the new live chat set up, Mike!

They were impressive in jumping on Exeter quickly in the Wyomissing tournament last week

12:08

Schedule hasn't been the strongest so far, but we'll find out a lot in the next two weeks with league games against Mifflin, Reading and Exeter, and a big non-leaguer vs. Warwick

And they're doing it with a fairly young lineup.

12:07

Muhls obviously playing much better in all aspects of the game, and they can really shoot it.

12:06

Hard to say, Darren.

Darren

12:06

What do you think Muhlenberg's ceiling is this year? I think the only thing they are lacking is quality depth at the 5 spot. They play an hyper up-tempo style with good outside shooting, making them dangerous on any given night. Excited for their upcoming matchups with Reading and Wilson as good measuring sticks.

I didn't completely forget about the Tigers; wrote about them last week before they beat Brandywine.

12:05

You're right, Jason, I forgot Fleetwood, also off t a great start.

Jason

12:05

You forgot Fleetwood
