Seems like the MUHLS really play hard for there coaches what has been the difference in districts compared to the regular season.

Mike Drago

12:46

They haven't had to play Reading or Wilson, that's the difference.

Those are tough teams. They each beat Muhlenberg twice.

12:47

Muhls' district run has been amazing, because Mikai Washington is hurt and Caiden Iaccarino hasn't played in districts. Two key guys.

Wes has taken some pretty good players out of their game the last few weeks. The only guy I seen have success against him was the Yoder kid from Pennridge. he goes about 6'2". Just a nice player going to Navy.

Muhls Washington should have been added. Hes almost unguardable and has to shoulder a lot of the load

Mike Drago

12:48

When he's on, Mikai has been terrific. But he's been a little up and down. That wrist has affected his game for about three weeks now.

how do you feel about BC making a state push?

Mike Drago

12:48

Makes it tougher coming in as third-place team, as opposed to champ.

12:49

Have to play District 12 runner-up now, instead of a fourth- or fifth-place finisher.

Not sure who that is yet, but it'll be a tougher draw.

12:50

Bottom line: Saints have to score more. They did last night. If they can score 50 they can win games.

Why hasn’t snip utilized George before? You just don’t wake up and be able to put up 18 pts in a playoff game?

Mike Drago

12:50

He's been getting better and better, and the chance to start the last three weeks has helped.

If he had been playing this well in December I'm sure Snip would've used him more.

Jim

Any info on these Pittsburgh area teams Berks teams may get first round

Mike Drago

12:51

I'll work on that this weekend, Jim.

Have the Saints underachieved this year no titles to show for.

Mike Drago

12:51

I had them ranked No. 1 in the preseason.

I thought they would win something.

Reading High caught up and passed everyone.

12:52

I saw that coming, and moved Red Knights up to No. 1 a couple weeks before Berks playoffs.

But all three teams, including Wilson, are close.

Reading has pulled away from the pack over the last three weeks.

How does PIAA determine which district plays what district

Mike Drago

12:52

I've often asked that myself.

12:53

Not really sure if there's a method.

Obviously, they like to keep teams close, geographically, in the first few rounds.

Though that's not always possible.

In Class 5A, the District 3 champ opens against No. 6 from District 7 (Pittsburgh).

12:54

And the D3 runner-up opens against 7-4.

So, that's looking like a double-header, maybe in Chambersburg?

Just a guess.

Maybe at Hershey?

12:55

It used to be a split bracket, East/West. But they realized the East teams were getting cheated.

So now, some of the teams on the Eastern side of the state slip into the "western" half of the bracket.

That's the case in 5A.

Cliff

12:55

What do you think the odds are of having a Berks team in each classification making in to the semis in states?

Mike Drago

12:55

About a billion to one.
