playoff time

It's playoff time in Berks County and there is plenty to keep track of. Neither of Boyertown's basketball teams qualified for the Final Four in the PAC-10, but the girls were just one win away. The program, under coach Mike Ludwig seems to be turning around. After a 4-9 season last year, the girls finished the PAC-10 this season wth a 8-5 record. Their 14-9 overall record will surely get them in the district playoffs that begin with a pigtail round February 8 and 9. At this point the pairings have not been announced. A win or two in the districts will do a lot for the program. Good luck Lady Bears!
In Berks County, the Daniel Boone and Oley boys' basketball team have both made the playoffs. In fact, they will meet each other in the quarterfinal round on Monday, February 4, at 6:30 p.m. at Governor Mifflin Intermediate School. The winner of that game will play the winner of the Wilson vs. Holy Name or Wyomissing game. The Jays and the Spartans must play a playoff game to determin the one - two seeds in Division 4. Daniel Boone is ranked fourth in the District 3-AAA power rankings which will give them a high seed in the district playoff.s Oley is ranked 24. Neither the Antietam boys' or girls' basketblal team made it to the Berks playoffs, but they should be in the district playoffs. THe boys are ranked 13th in the Class A power rankings, while the girls' are ranked ninth in Class AA. Oley girls' are ranked 17th.'
Congratulations to Jeff Sowers of Daniel Boone who scored his 1,000th career point last night. He has had an outstanding senior season for the Blazers and has been a big part of the team's success. He should have plenty of chances to improve on his 1,003 career points so far as Boone could go far in the county and district playoffs.
I, like millions of other people, will be glued to the TV set this Sunday to watch the big game. It's amazing how big the Super Bowl has become. It's way more than just a championship game, it has become a national holiday. I once heard that more toilets are being flushed during halftime of the big game than at any other time of the year. That just makes me wonder how the heck they know that. Since the Eagles aren't playing, I'll just be rooting for a close game. Too many Super Bowls just not very competitive. Here's to a last second touchdown to win the game.
