why does Snip get all the bad pictures on the Reading eagle site. Are you trying to say no other coach in the league has a grumpy face moment :)

Mike Drago

12:14

Good one, Leo.

Coach Nesby would have a legitimate shot now

Rick will unfortunately never win Berks COY. He won the state title and state COY, but not Berks. He's penalized for having the most talented team, as if getting talent to buy in isn't a great coaching skill

Leo

These games should be played at a neutral site. It's also ridiculous that the visiting team was not able to secure tickets before arrival. Getting told to get there early or "don't plan to get in" is not very visitor friendly

York scorer: The High School Scorebook needs to be replaced with a college one. College Scorebook uses a running score with player # and time. Every foul, timeout, and possession arrow with time. Makes it more accurate. The HS books I see don't have a possession arrow in it.

Mike Drago

12:16

It's not the book, Matt, it's the scorer.

A piece of paper is not going to make a difference if the person is not capable of doing the job.

What went on at York is a disgrace, with the home making just making up points.

I've seen a lot of bad ones.

Central Catholic fans will never forget their team's final game, when an 85-year-old scorer gave a foul to Donovon Jack instead of another player, and Jack ended up fouling out.

When Wes Butler started as a sophmore, I thought he would be a career role player, but he has really been racking up the accolades. Just moved into 9th all time on the RHS scoring list 2 time Berks player of the year, a chance to lead his team to back to back district tiles, and a state title. Incredible.

Mike Drago

Wes has worked his way into the conversation with the all-time best at Reading High. Fabulous career, and well-earned. He's worked hard for everything he has achieved.

Did you notice the item I had in today about him winning the Berks Triple Crown?

Leading the league in scoring, 3-pointers and free throw percentage.

The last person to do that was pretty good, too.

Steve

If Butler gets the triple crown, in my opinion he's the g.o.a.t, your thoughts?

Mike Drago

12:20

I'd say Wes is among the 10-15 best players in program history, and that's high praise, believe me.

Reading has had some great players through the decades.

Why doesn’t the PIAA provide a 4th & 5th official to be the official book and clock. Having a member of the home school being the book of record is ridiculous

Mike Drago

12:20

$$$$$$$

12:21

It would be nice, but that's unlikely to happen.

When games are at a neutral site, there should be a third scorebook, which is the official book. That doesn't always happen, but it should.

ExBerksCoach

12:21

It amazes me that Wes hasn't gotten more college looks. If he were 6'4", wouldn't he have a bunch of D1 schools inquiring?

Mike Drago

12:21

He's have dozens.

Cards fan

12:22

It’s roughly $80 per floor official. Pay the book and clock $40 a piece. They. I longer need to pay for nuetral

The coach of the year is voted on by other coaches and peers. The Berks coaches obviously felt Kyle Conrad was deserving of the award. He acts with class and advocates for his players. I thought he did a great job with a limited talent pool.

Mike Drago

12:23

I'm not knocking anyone who received the award, I'm saying it was determined too early.

I've said that here in past years.

Reading Hoops

12:23

The Berks league has had a nice showing in districts...2nd place in 2A, 3rd place in 3 and 4A, chance for 1st in 5A and two of the top 4 spots in 6A, congrats to all.

Mike Drago

12:23

Good, but not great. I was expecting better.

12:24

I thought BC would win 4A, and that Wilson would make the 6A final.

Chambersburg wasn't overly skilled but they are extremely big and physical. Is Wilson going to be up for a knock down drag out game after a demoralizing upset against Harrisburg?

Mike Drago

12:24

Hard to say. Those third-place games are never easy to play, knowing you should be playing for a gold medal.

12:25

Chambersburg guys will be down, too. They had Reading at home and had the lead in the second half, and couldn't hold it.

They have lost two years in a row to Reading.

What does Muhlenberg have to do tonight to come out on top against #1 seeded Lower Dauphin?

Mike Drago

12:25

Keep it loose, as they have done the past few games. Play their game and they'll be fine.

It's not always easy to do that on the big stage.
