Good afternoon

Time to kick things off.

If you have a question or comment, now's the time to enter it.

12:04

If you haven't read it already, please check out today's Extra Points:

https://www.readingeagle.com/sports/article/mike-dragos-high-school-fo...

This is the link to the expanded web version.

A lot more information than in the print story.

12:05

Lead item is about the possibility of a Berks/Lancaster-Lebanon merger, down the road.

Wilson/MT was a good game...Wyo/Fleetwood not so much!

Wilson v Township was a very good game -- better for the Blue Streaks than the Bulldogs, obviously.

As expected, that's a very good Township team.

12:06

Began the season as one of the favorites for a District 3 Class 6A championship

Now, the Streaks are easily the No. 1 team

Interesting that Wilson, Harrisburg and Cedar Crest, all unbeaten, lost last week

Central Dauphin not to be overlooked, despite losses to Wilson and Manheim Township

12:07

Rams beat Harrisburg, and could have beaten Township or Wilson

Wow, Wyomissing surprised me with their dominant win over Fleetwood. They still have to beat BC @ BC! but, Middletown and Wyomissing are expecting to continue dominating leading up to the championship game at the A-field you mentioned in Extra Points. piaa3d.org has Class 3A - Friday, Nov. 15 listed as date for game. How will Wyomissing play a Friday night game without lights?

Mike Drago

12:07

If Wyo is the No. 1 seed, the game will be play on a Saturday.

At Wyo, if the weather is good, at a nearby site with turf if not.

12:08

That will be, as we say, a game-time decision.

Or a decision made early that day, or perhaps even Friday in the event of a bad forecast.

What’s your take on wyomissing defensive backs this year heard both corners are only sophomores.

Mike Drago

12:08

You're talking about Nevin Carter and Amory Thompson.

Carter had two picks last week vs Fleetwood

Thompson has three for the season, I believe.

12:09

That's a strong group, anchored by the seniors, Max Hurleman and Jevin Tranquillo.

Wyo's solid top to bottom, and the D has lots of play-makers, in Hurleman, Tranquillo, Darren Brunner

And Evan Niedrowski in the middle, of course

12:10

No. 44 was all over the field at Fleetwood, Saturday and Sunday

Jimmy Dean

12:10

Any concern for Wyo against Hamburg with Brunner out?

Thompson had nice pick against North S. called back too. They seem to have ability to ball hawk with excellent defensive front.

Hawk Hill

12:10

after my hawks let BC off the hook last weekend with numerous mistakes, essentially giving them the game... i call hawks playing spoiler tom vs wyomissing.

Mike Drago

12:10

Hawks are much improved

12:11

Rick Keeley called this the best Hamburg team he's seen in years

But not good enough to beat this Wyo team

Hawks are beat up on the O-line, too.

And Shaheed Warren was limited to about a half last week.

12:12

Hawks lost some guys during the BC game, and had to move people around

Chris

As discouraging it may be for Wilson, they should be encouraged at the same time. There were multiple key drops offensively that could have sustained some drives. Defense was good against the run... Obviously a huge 1st half through the air for Twp. Second half they made adjustments. A few key injuries... Wilson was still in that game with even with mishaps.
