Recruiting violations; not allowed on here, King

12:24

I just confirmed Noah Hermany injury with his coach; extent of injury is not determined yet.

That's a rough break for the Bullets, if he has to be out any length of time

LW4's Hair

The most important question about last night...did the Sixers have a good spread or did you stop for a cheesesteak on your own?

Mike Drago

12:25

The food wasn't as bad as I anticipated

However, I had time in the afternoon, so I stopped by Reading Terminal Market for lunch

That's always a treat

And thanks for asking. Food is always a higher priority than sports with me.

12:26

When I retire, I'm going to start a food blog

Frank

12:26

Do you know of Wes Butlers college interest?

Mike Drago

12:26

Not much at this point. I know Penn State offered him a preferred walk on.

I bumped into a Penn assistant coach yesterday at the Palestra, and told him to check out Wes. I think he's be a great fit for that program.

Steve

12:27

Must run in their blood, Stevie will be Berks County Player of the year the next 2 years after Wes leaves. You heard it here first!

Mike Drago

12:27

You're not exactly going out on a limb there, Steve

But, I can't disagree, either

The Dark Knight

12:27

Reading vs Wilson in district championship

Mike Drago

12:27

I'm down with, Knight

12:28

Would save me a trip to Hershey

The District 3 Class 6A boys championship will be played at Santander

Would love to see either, if not both, in that game. Would give me another chance to have lunch at the Ugly Oyster.

Frank

I meant the Mounts are overrated in the sense that everyone thinks their so much better this year because of their record. But if you look at their strength of schedule this year compared to last year its bad.

Mike Drago

12:29

Well, I can't speak for everyone. Their record is what it is. I understand that. Their coach understands that.

They're a very young team, and just about everyone can come back next year.

12:30

Hopefully they add some more challenging teams to the front of that schedule so that they're ready for the league games.

Jeff

12:30

gonna miss the trips to Hershey though alot of history and tradition going there.

Mike Drago

12:30

They're not done completely; there just will be fewer this year

And maybe even fewer going forward.

If Hershey doesn't want to cooperate there are other good venues available.

12:31

District 3 needs to continue to explore college venues

Albright would be great for many mid-level games

Bollman Field House is like the Berks version of the Palestra

Speaking of the Palestra, I got to watch a little of the Spurs walkthrough there yesterday

12:32

And had a chance before and after last night's game to be in on an interview with Spurs coach Greg Popovich

He's exactly like you see him on TV; probably the most interesting interview in American sports

Steve

12:33

With the knights, bulldogs, and muhls all doing well, who’s your pick for coach of the year?

Mike Drago

12:33

We're really only halfway through the season; all of the most important games are coming up

So, it's too early to pick that

12:34

But, coaches from Wilson, Muhlenberg and Reading are certainly in the conversation at this point

Traditionally, the coach who wins the county championship has the leg up on that award

LW4's Hair

12:35

As a RHS fan, I felt dirty cheering for Wilson to beat BC, but for D3 power ranking purposes, a Bulldog win helped the Knights. Just need Cumberland Valley, Crest and C Dauphin to start taking some Ls
