BC is the defending champ in 4A, and it appears it will again run into Bishop McDevitt, the team it beat last year

I like the Saints' chances

I think 6A is much deeper and much more balanced than in recent years

12:47

I don't see a favorite there

I would love to be covering Wilson and Reading in championship game at Santander March 1

That would be a blast

At this point they're Nos. 1 and 3 in power ratings, so that means they'd be on opposite ends fo the bracket

12:48

Reading High playing well right now, but Red Knights are so young I'm just not sure how they're going to respond to the postseason

Joe

12:48

I think we'll see you at the Wyo-Weiser game tonight Drago

Never know, Joe

Thoughts on Antietam? Do you believe they can still make counties?

Mike Drago

12:48

Yes.

12:49

Mounts have 4 games left; if they take 3 of 4 they're in. Maybe even 2 of 4.

Do you see some growing pains for Berks Catholic next year? they look to be losing A LOT , does anyone have a chance to knock them off in the division next year?

Mike Drago

12:49

Saints only losing top 7 scorers.

Not a big deal.

OK, it's a big deal.

They will be very, very young next year, mostly sophs and juniors.

12:50

There are some promising young players in the pipeline, and I'll be including them next week in my annual "Top Of Their Class" breakdown.

But yes, the Saints are vulnerable next season in Berks II.

I'd say Wyomissing has the best chance.

Spartans have some good young talent as well.

With Wilson #1 and Reading #3 currently in the district, an all berks final at the santander would be pretty great

cool

I believe Antietam is completely overrated. When you blow a nine point lead in the fourth quarter and lose by two to a team that has one win in Oley Valley what else can you say?

Mike Drago

12:51

Did you notice they weren't in the Top 10 rankings today?

https://www.readingeagle.com/sports/article/boys-basketball-mike-drago...

12:52

So, if they're not rated, they can't be over-rated, can they?

State Champs

12:52

Yes sir I did

Joe

12:53

Wyo starting 5 next year will be 3 seniors and 2 juniors all playing varsity now. Yes hoping for a good year.

State Champs

12:53

No you are correct Mike but I felt this way when they were still in your top 10. I don’t believe they’re going to make the Berks County Playoffs is what I’m saying

SM21

12:54

how you see districts for 5A schools

Mike Drago

12:54

Muhlenberg is looking good

12:55

Muhls are No. 5 right now

I can see them making a run to the semifinals if they get everyone back in the lineup

They were missing one of their starters earlier this week at Exeter

BTW, the Reading at Muhlenberg game for tonight is postponed until Friday

I'll be covering that one

SM21

12:56

any chance of them winning district

Mike Drago

12:56

Yes, but there are some 5A teams out there. I hear Lower Dauphin is very good, and York High has had a good season

I haven't see either
