Because Reading would meet Roman Catholic in the third round, which is the quarters

Could you help me understand how many division games each team will play with the new realignment?

Mike Drago

1:02

The schools in five-team divisions will play 12 league games in basketball

The schools in four-team divisions will play 11 league games in basketball

1:03

Also in baseball, softball, soccer.

Yes i meant quarters no way reading gets past that division 2 team with Roman Catholic

Mike Drago

1:03

I would agree, Reading's second game could be easier than it's first, should it win

1:04

And, who know, maybe someone will knock Roman off before that

That's what happened two years ago

Everyone was looking at that potential Reading/Roman quarterfinal match-up, and it never happened.

What do you think about the realignment of divisions in basketball?

Mike Drago

1:05

I think it's a big plus. BC belongs in Section 1.

If Tyrone Nesby stays for a while, Muhlenberg will rule Division II.

Wyo/Schuylkill will be a good battle in Division III.

1:06

Division IV should be balanced most years.

Berksball

1:06

Only minor tweak i would make is bump Oley to division 3

Mike Drago

1:06

Based on what?

I think I could do without the crossover games in the new format.

1:07

Reading, Wilson, and BC would rather line up a strong non-league game than play Boone, Twin Valley, or Weiser

That Perk Valley team was tough. Gave Reading it's best game in states until the final.

Hs is all about coaches. You can look at schools every year and the top coaches have the best team. If snip went to Oley, they’d compete for district titles in 3-4 years.

OK, lunch time is over.

Back to work, everyone.

They're not paying you to sit here watching me type.

Haughney did it with tolpy and now they are back to who they were before he got there.

Mike Drago

1:09

Good point, fan

That's why Dan's a legend in Berks coaching circles.

Where was I?

Right, on the way out.

1:10

I'll be covering Muhlenberg on Friday, and Reading High on Saturday.

We'll have all the games covered this weekend, except for Antietam, so follow our guys on Twitter for updates and insights.

Thanks again for all the great questions and comments this season.
