3: Conrad Weiser, Hamburg, Wyo, Sch Valley, Oley Valley

4: Brandyine, Kutztown, Tulpy, Antietam

Both could have a tough road there....Reading can't overlook MTWP and have a date at Chambersburg looming if they win that. Wilson will have it's hands full getting there too...CV and possibly Harrisburg.

Mike Drago

12:52

Agree, that all-Berks matchup is far from set. I'd say the odds are about 1-in-3.

Berksball

12:53

i think weiser would be in division 2 and bring fwood down to 3 due to classifications

Mike Drago

12:53

It'll be based on enrollement, except for schools that request to move up, such as BC

ExBerksCoach

12:53

It sure would be great to see Reading/Wilson 4 though!!

Mike Drago

12:53

I'm ready for it

How do you think Antietam is gonna do tomorrow for their district game ?

Mike Drago

12:54

If Mounts are on top of their game they can win that

Andrew

Next year you should work on a all decade team. Good debate for that

Mike Drago

12:54

That's already on my calendar.

Look for it sometime in late January.

I think this chat is on on the verge of setting a record....first one without someone claiming BC recruits. Congrats. #Finally

What is your thoughts on coaches at the high school level (even assistant coaches) who have not played basketball at the high school level?

Mike Drago

12:55

Honestly, I never gave it much thought.

It's rare, but not unprecedented.

ExBerksCoach

Steel-High is the team to beat in AA

Mike Drago

12:56

Tough thing about 2A is it's win Friday or your season is over. Only two teams make states.

Last year, it was just one.

what’d ya think of my all county picks from the last 3 years mike? any tweaks or changes need to be made?

Mike Drago

12:57

A lot to digest there, Berks

Lawnchair

12:57

I like them :)

Mike Drago

12:58

Something tells me Chair is being sarcastic.

Thought someone would ask about teams playing home games in districts, rather than neutral sites.

Just worked out that 8 of the 9 Berks teams in tournment this year opened at home.

Lawnchair

12:58

not semis

Mike Drago

12:59

Not. Higher-seeded team gets home game in semis.

I have a problem with that.

I don't mind the first round, or even the quarterfinals, but there's no way a semifinal should be played on someone's home court.

That's too important of a game.

ExBerksCoach

12:59

Delone Cath. aren't what they used to be, but I'm sure they are well coached and fundamentally sound. The Mounts can certainly win, but can't look past them. Steel-High will destroy Millersburg in the other semi.

Mike Drago

Delone was once a small-school power in D3, but it's been a while. This is not one of its better teams.

Nobody

The coaches vote on the team. It’s time to accept the results and let it go. There are more important things to discuss.

Mike Drago

1:00

I don't know about that; that's what forums like this are for, to toss around thoughts on things like all-star teams.

1:01

I'm not giving you my five All-Berks picks, because I don't want to call out the players who wouldn't make my team that made the coaches' team. That wouldn't be fair.

1:02

The players who made the All-Berks team should be proud of their accomplishment.

That's a true honor, to be selected by the coaches.

OK, that'll do it for this week.

1:03

I'll be covering Muhlenberg tonight and Reading High Friday night.
