This and That
Hello everyone. Just wanted to post a couple of things for today.
I'm working on a preview of the Gettysburg-E-town district playoff game on Saturday night. Still trying to dig up info. on Gettysburg, but I have a few leads, so once I get it all together, I'll get it up, definitely by tomorrow. By the way, the game is Saturday night. I know a few newspapers (not mine, of course) had it as a Friday night game, but I can assure you that it is Saturday night at E-town.
Staying with the Bears, I thought they played an excellent first half Tuesday night against Columbia. Problem is, that didn't happen in the second half. In the game preview, I wrote that E-town couldn't afford to have the one bad quarter that has seemed to plague them much of the season, or they would lose. Well, they had that quarter in the third, and they lost. Columbia was a completely different team in the second half. I'm not sure if they woke up and played that much better after halftime or if the Bears just had a bad half, but Columbia definitely earned that win with an excellent second half. I remember saying to someone at halftime that I couldn't believe this Columbia team had won 20 in a row because I wasn't thoroughly impressed with them. And to an extent, I'm still not. If I was a betting man, which I'm not, I'd bet that McCaskey beats them tonight.
In case anyone was wondering about the EAHS wrestling team's upcoming sectional tournament, I've got you covered. The tournament is on Saturday, Feb. 16 at Central Dauphin East High School. The Bears are in Section Two and are the only L-L team in the section, and it's a LOADED section. The other teams are
Cedar Cliff (15-3 and district quarterfinalist),
Central Dauphin (17-1 and district champion, with one of the best teams in the state),
CD East (one of the weaker teams in the racket),
Harrisburg (again, not an overly strong team),
Hershey (not bad, but shouldn't post too much of a threat)
Lower Dauphin (oustanding team, 14-3, district quarterfinalist)
Middletown (I think we all know by now, from the Donegal Tournament, how good Middletown is. They have a few good kids in the lighter weights)
Red Land (don't know much about them, shouldn't be too much of a threat)
Susquehanna Township (average team, from what I hear).
Cedar Cliff, LD, CV AND Middletown. Ouch, it's gonna be tough for the Bears.
This tournament, of course, decides who goes to districts. I'll post the first round matchups when I know them.
