Hey , anyone notice the same Refs that had BC/McDevit game also had RHS/Harrisburg ?

Mike Drago

12:31

I did.

You think it's a conspiracy?

12:32

I believe that was a Lancaster-Lebanon League crew. That's standard issue.

When you have a Mid-Penn vs. a Berks team, usually LL gets the call.

Thoughts on the multiple (IMO very quick) 5 second calls in the Reading/Harrisburg game? Also, was Chapman's charge a charge? Not blaming the zebras, a lot went into that loss, but those L-L refs seemed a little slanted

Mike Drago

12:32

Those were four-second calls.

Not sure why you're saying they were five-second calls.

12:33

I think it's a new rule, in an attempt to speed up the game.

Can't blame the refs for Reading losing.

Red Knights make a couple more plays, they win that one.

That LL crew could not keep up with the pace of the game. They needed a younger crew on that game. They were out of position making calls the whole game.

I have an appreciation for old guys, watch it.

I went to the last game that BC and Imhotep played. Wasn’t even close. All the talk about BC recruiting. Those people need to go see teams like Imhotep, Roman and Kennedy Catholic to see what a recruited team looks like. Not one kid on those teams play anything other than basketball. BC’s team is full of football and baseball players that happen to play basketball too.

Mike Drago

12:34

Good point about multiple-sport guys, fan.

12:35

Now, Casey Jack and Kyran Mitchell are basketball-only guys.

Though I understand Kyran was once a pretty good QB.

And I know Casey would've been an all-league guard in the Wing-T.

Not sure how Rick Keeley missed on that.

Jack and Gaspari are All berks soccer guys

Mike Drago

12:36

Right, and Nick was the leading scorer on the soccer team.

That's one of the great things about this BC team: Full of athletes and competitive guys.

Berks County officials really can’t resist making the “glory” charge call at pivotal points in games. I’m really not sure they know what a true offensive charge is vs a block.

Mike Drago

12:36

Skippy has resurfaced!

Thought you went into hybernation after football season.

12:37

Anyway, that block/charge call has always been a tough one to make.

It's become fashionable in the last 15 years, at the college level, at least, to allow a defender to jump in at the last moment even when he's not set.

I don't like that call.

I think you need to be set.

And in a defensive position.

12:38

But, whatever, it's still a tough call.

Jack would make a good TE . Great feet

Skippy

12:38

Was a quiet observer

Mike Drago

12:38

Well, we're glad to have you back.

Did you get to any basketball games this year?

Mike, what’s with all the articles regarding our Berks teams up against it with the competition they are opening up with? States are States every team is good at this time. 32 teams in each bracket there is one winner. If it was that easy Reading would have 5-6 state championships but guess what everyone is Reading in the playoffs and better.

Mike Drago

Four Berks teams open against teams ranked in the Top Ten in the state.

But the big issue is how La Salle got to be the No. 4 seed, when Lincoln is No. 3.

Lincoln is 10-16.

Most losses of any team in the state tournament.
