Bears are state-tourney bound

Well, well, well, look who's going to states. E-town continued it magical season by beating Mechanicsburg on Saturday afternoon on the strength of a 25-point fourth quarter.

I wasn't able to make the game because I had to be in a wedding in Allentown, but I was able to talk to several people who were there and said that the Bears were awesome in the fourth quarter.

I believe this is E-town's first trip to states since current head coach Kevin Dolan was playing guard for the Bears.

What a fantastic job this team has done in the second half of the season. It's been a blast to be able to cover them, and the fun will continue tomorrow night at the Giant Center.

Of course, E-town gets the unenviable task of playing Reading tomorrow night. Reading is 28-0 and the third ranked team in the entire state (and the top ranked team in the district). Needless to say, it ain't gonna be easy tomorrow, but the Bears have already earned their state berth. The PIAA play-in round is Feb. 26 and the first round of the tourney is Feb. 29. District tournaments need to run their course before seeding is announced, but I'll have it for you when I know it.

I'll also be posting a preview on tomorrow night's game either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Congrats again to the Bears. Job well done.
