La Salle would beat them by 20.

La Salle should be the No. 3.

Skippy

12:40

Plenty. Wish the Scouts would of had a few more games.

Mike Drago

12:40

I was kidding; I know you were out there.

Tonya Harding

12:41

Who do you have as your most improved player this year

Mike Drago

12:41

Good question

I'd say Stevie Mitchell, Mikai Washington and Luis Garcia would be at the top of that list.

12:42

Mitchell's defense has improved to the point where he's drawing top assignments now. And still scoring 20 a game.

Mikai, when he's on, is a game-changer.

And Luis added a new dimension to his game.

Mike, I agree with you that Muhlenberg can win Friday and then make a run in the State playoffs as they did on the District playoffs.

Mike Drago

12:42

I didn't say anything about a run, but I'm giving them a chance.

I'll be there Friday covering that one.

Phish Dixx

12:43

BGeorge should be in running

Mike Drago

12:43

Good call, Phish.

Brandon's game has taken a huge leap in the last month.

Take it a step further. LaSalle had to play a game for 4th place and just to get in. Beat Gratz 56-41. It really is puzzling.

Will George start or will Snip bring back Luke for that job ?

Mike Drago

12:44

Pretty sure Brandon will start and Luke will come off the bench.

For the first time this year they'll be used together.

Saw that year year in state quarterfinals against Becca.

sherman

12:44

i agree, BGeorge took a ton of those charges to spin several games

Bill Tritt

I'm not sure how well this new seeding thing will work for basketball. It is done for tennis during the individual flight tournament and it leads to a lot of arguing and wasted time.

Mike Drago

12:45

Bill's talking about the new changes BCIAA is implementing for 2020-21

I'm told they do it for the individual wrestling tournament, and it works well.

It can't be worse than the current system.

12:47

Not sure how it will play out, and I'm not sure I like the idea of the coaches determining matchups for their own games.

It would be better to have an independent panel, the way they do it in the NCAA.

Not that that works out perfectly, either.

Actually, they could just save time and use my weekly rankings.

Cards fan

The 3 best teams are now in section 1. You are going to have 2 of them playing against each other in early rounds. No real way around it now.

Mike Drago

12:48

True, but the key is that you split the No. 1 and No. 2 teams on opposite ends of the bracket, so that they end up in the finals, if things work correctly.

Phish Dixx

12:48

Not in this county. Guaranteed you will have some COLLUSION between some coaches

Mike Drago

12:48

No collusion.

Skippy

12:49

Well if berks basketball stays consistent has it’s been for the last ten years, it’s generally RHS, Wilson, BC and another team. The new seeding will basically seed it so you get a championship match up in the final vs in the semi’s

Mike Drago

12:49

That's what we're looking for, Skippy.

Cards fan

It’s the Russians. They ruin everything.
