I would say second would be far from locked up.

Both the Mounts and Bullets still have to play Kutztown

That division remains wide open.

All of those 6A mid-penn teams play one another, so there should be some losses coming their way. Reading will have to stay hot also to move up in the power ratings. Harrisburg beat York last night, so that didn't help.

Mike Drago

Red Knights have a chance to get to No. 4 if they win out; that'll be a good spot.

It'll also mean they see Wilson in the semifinals, not the finals

How were the fish tacos at Wahoo's last night?

Mike Drago

Pass

Did Reading people really expect Lonnie to play last night. Heard this was the plan all long was to just to bring him with.

Mike Drago

12:47

They were hoping

There was a chance with a couple minutes left that he would get in

Spurs were up 8; if they would've been it to 10 or 12, I think Pop would've given him time in the final minute

12:48

I sensed that Pop wanted to do that

I was going to ask Pop in the postgame press conference if he considered giving Lonnie that last shot coming out of the time out, but I resisted

Do county tiebreakers come down to head-to-head record, overall record, or power ratings?

Mike Drago

12:48

1. Head to head

2. Power rating

Feel like this has been the best season of berks basketball since around 2012. Its nice seeing close divisional races across the board.

Mike Drago

12:49

I'm with you, Mark. It's been a while since we've had any close races, let alone several

Anxious to get to districts to see if these power ratings hold up, because several Berks teams are doing very well

Antietam and Wilson are No. 1s

Brandywine is No. 3, Kutztown No. 4 in 3A

12:50

Berks Catholic is No. 4 and could get to No. 2

Muhlenberg is No. 6

Jeff

12:50

Well Berks 1 and 2 are locked up already Mike.

Mike Drago

12:50

Reading still needs to win at Muhlenberg

On any given night the Muhls can take anyone out

Randy

What is your current top 4 in the county and your Berks County Final prediction? I'll take a whack at it and say: Reading, Wilson, BC, Muhls in that order. And Reading vs. BC in the final? Spot on?

Mike Drago

Randy, here are this week's rankings:

It looks like Reading/Wilson in the semis, with the winner playing BC in the finals

12:52

Not counting out Muhlenberg; I'll get a better feel for Muhls tonight

John

12:53

What is Nesby doing different at Muhlenberg the others couldn't.
