Here they come...

Wanted to post something quickly for you tonight. Just got back from a very loud Daubert Gymnasium, where the E-town boys basketball team pulled out a HUGE win tonight over Conestoga Valley. CV had a two game lead over the Bears in Section Two going into tonight, and that win puts E-town in a tie for second place and just a game out of first with just a couple of section games left.

Chad Styer was huge tonight for the Bears, making big shot after big shot to bring E-town back for the win. Tonight reminded me what is fun and great about high school hoops. Two good teams in a dogfight, matching each other every time down the court. Mix in a few big 3's, a clutch steal by Jordan Hallman, and a great student section and this one was an instant classic.

E-town didn't have its best stuff tonight offensively, and they know it, but they proved that they can win (and beat a good team) when they don't necessarily have their A game. And that, lads and lasses, is what separates playoff-caliber teams from mediocre ones.

That much I know – and knowing is half the battle. GI Joe will never steer you wrong.
