Evin has been excellent this season! He makes wilson go

Do you know the timeline of Wednesdays double header at Santander?

Mike Drago

12:24

That has not been announced. I would guess 6:30 for the first game. That's not official yet.

I'd prefer a noon start, personally.

Why doesn’t snip play Paiton and George together. Would be match up nightmare. George athletic enough to cover anyone in county. Held lasalle’s big man to 2 points from field

The way Brandon has come on lately, that's a possibility.

12:25

Last year in PIAA game vs Beth Catholic they used both together, or in some combination with Keba Mitchell

I think Keba got in foul trouble, and Brandon and Luke played together for a lot of that game

Becca had those twin tower brothers

bring back football

I saw Downingtown East play at the Reading Xmas Tourney. They are no joke. They have a good big man and some excellent athletes to go with him. Gave Norristown a run for their money, even though the big sat out with an injury for much of the game. I imagine he missed some time after that, which could be why they are 22.

District 1 is deep in 6A

12:27

It's been that way for a long time

Reading High played 5 of the top 6 teams from District 1 this year, and hung in there with all them

I know you've covered all three of the Jack brothers for years. Which do you think stood out the most in high school?

Mike Drago

12:27

You're trying to get me in trouble, aren't you Brian?

12:28

They'll all different type of players, as I wrote about today:

https://www.readingeagle.com/sports/article/mike-dragos-boys-basketbal...

Donovon, being 6-9, played an entirely different game than Casey, who's 6-3.

All three were All-Berks picks, so that's pretty good

12:29

A lot of hardware in that household

It's been a pleasure to cover each of their careers

Donavan Jack was a force

What conclusion do you put to the fact that two Berks schools will likely lead the pack heading into 6A district playoffs? I think it highlights a very strong year of Berks basketball.

Mike Drago

12:29

Not quite sure what to make of that, 84

12:30

It's obviously a good sign

I've been saying all year that this has been a really good season for Berks basketball in general

We'll find out for sure in a few weeks how much that holds up

Who is your POTY pick as of now before playoffs?

Mike Drago

12:30

I think that's pretty easy

https://www.readingeagle.com/sports/article/top-of-class-in-high-schoo...

Wrote about that again today

12:31

It's Wesley Butler from Reading, and I don't think it's close

I get that District 3 brackets aren’t ready, but have they at least released game dates?

Mike Drago

District 3 has a really good websight, thanks to webmaster Rod Frisco

I think these dates have been posted there since early in the season
