Anyway, to answer your question: Exeter underperformed, in large part due to injuries

12:43

Alex Javier and Anthony Wise, their young backcourt, both were slowed by injuries

If Brandywine and Kutztown had another match up but was not at either home courts, what do you think the outcome would be?

Mike Drago

12:45

Would be another close game, Ryan, but Kutztown has a lot of momentum going right now

Definitely playing better now than at midseason

Why do you think there aren't more players from Berks playing at top Division 1 colleges? It seems Berks produces good players but not top talent.

Mike Drago

12:45

Compared to other sports, you're right Philly

12:46

Legit D1 basketball players have been few and far between in Berks

What is your opinion regarding the proposed 4 division format? How will the already flawed county tournament format change? Who moves up? Who moves down?

Mike Drago

12:46

I haven't seen much about it yet, but I'm not sure what the upside is

They tried four divisions before and went away from it

12:47

What I'm hearing is that Berks I would have five teams: Reading, Wilson, BC, Mifflin and Exeter

Which is great

But then there would be crossovers

That would be a drag on the system

Reading and Wilson are better served playing top District 1 teams, rather than Twin Valley or Fleetwood

Same goes with Berks Catholic

12:48

Other than the Weiser games, BC's league games haven't helped them for years

MIKE

eliminate crossovers add 2 more non league games then they have now

Maybe I am just old but I miss the 4 division format

Mike Drago

12:48

Jason, are you old enough to remember the "old" three-division format from the 1980's?

12:49

The "big" division was actually Division II, not Division I. It included Reading, Mifflin, Exeter, Muhlenberg, Wilson and . . . Holy Name

Pretty sure that was Lloyd Wolf's idea

Ryan

12:49

Loved the 3 division format

Jason

12:49

Not that old

Skippy

12:50

Going to 4 divisions doesn't fix Berks basketball, IMO. Is there any discussions with any other leagues in some sort of merger? There is just too much disparity in school sizes and levels of programs.

Mike Drago why are you not posting my legitimate questions?

Mike Drago

12:50

Like this one?

Jason

12:50

I do agree with your point on the crossovers for Reading though

Ryan

12:50

Any closer to Catholic teams playing in their own division?
