Good call, chair.

I was gonna say Wes Butler, but good bigs are hard to find, so I'd go Nana. Does he fit in that five-year window?

12:41

No, Nana was six years ago.

Thank you, be here :) for ya

Did Coad play in the last 5 years? Or was he before that

Mike Drago

12:42

You're talk Tre Coad from Wilson? Nope, six years ago, also.

12:43

Just did quick check over last 5 years, and my pick is definitely Wes Butler.

Did you realize he won the Berks Triple Crown this year?

Led the league in scoring, 3-pointers and free throw shooting.

Without checking I'm gonna say no one has ever done that before.

What's your ceiling for Reading High this year in terms of how far they go? Could they win a district title? Could they make state quarters? Haven't seen them in person at all due to moving out of state.

Mike Drago

12:45

I'd make Reading the slight favorite for district title.

If it wins that, I can see a couple of state wins.

12:46

Tough thing will be traveling to Chambersburg for semifinals.

That OT loss to Pennridge could come back to haunt them if they have to make that trip.

Will Luke be back?

Mike Drago

12:47

You're talking about Luke Painton, from Berks Catholic.

I'm not expecting him to play tonight, or if he does his minutes will be limited.

Probably missed about two weeks of practice.

Lawnchair

12:48

Wilson will beat them next time, will play a different Defense...mark it down:)

Mike Drago

12:48

You mean Reading? In the district final?

OK, it's marked down, Chair

The refs in the Pennridge game were some of the (worst) I've seen. Anyway, playing the traditional RHS tough out of county schedule they did against high quality D1 teams is going to come up big down the stretch here.

Mike Drago

12:49

Had to edit that comment a little, because I don't want to unfairly blast refs or coaches or players here, but I get your point.

And yes, Reading's schedule is a big plus. It essentially went through the District 1 6A semifinals during the course of the season.

Berksball

12:50

Reading will beat wilson a for a third time in the district final chair.. mark that!

Mike Drago

12:50

Maybe you and Chair should step outside to settle this.

Better idea: Both teams can make it to Santander March 1 and settle it there.

Tigersrules

12:50

what do you think the new divisions should look like if they approved? just wondering what section my tigers will be in.

Mike Drago

12:50

Rules, good to hear from you again

12:51

I mentioned potential realignment in today's "Free Throws": https://www.readingeagle.com/sports/article/mike-dragos-high-school-bo...

Just a guess, but divisions might look something like this:

1: Reading, Wilson, Exeter, Mifflin, BC

2. Muhlenberg, Boone, Twin Valley, Fleetwood
