This and that...
Here are a couple things to catch up on while we are in the midst of the start of winter sports.
Boys Basketball:
I saw the Bears in person last night, and I'll admit it, they're fun to watch. Point guard Andrew Placeres really gets the Bears up and down the court quickly – I even had a hard time keeping up with the stats and my game story (still in preseason mode I suppose). I really like E-town's perimeter game, with Placeres, Quinn Cozzens, Jeremi Jones and Jordan Hoover. And once Chad Styer gets 100 percent healthy from his knee injury, look out. If Kyle McNeil and Brad Garber establish themselves as consistent low post threats, this team could do some good things this year. We'll know a lot more about the Bears next week, with their next three games coming against Section One teams. Tuesday night, they host McCaskey. I'll be there and provide some super analysis for you Wednesday. Good stuff so far though.
Girls Basketball:
Yup, the Bears are already halfway to last year's win total (after just 1 game), beating Milton Hershey last night, Becca Bigler, Bri Kuhn and Sarah Fairbanks all were in double digits in points, and the E-town defense held the Spartans to just 29. Watch out for Fairbanks. She's only a freshman and could be sensational for E-town this year. And expect the Bears to just keep improving with every game. I'm checking them out against Penn Manor this week, so I'll know more about them when I see them in person.
Football:
Yes, I've heard the rumors, too. Rumor has it that E-town head coach Jeff Polites is stepping down soon, ending his tenure in Elizabethtown. Now, I have NOT confirmed this yet, but I have seen it at other places around the web (check out Jeff Reinhart's blog) and have heard whispers around town. Again, I have not talked to Jeff yet, but I'm going to try and talk to him on Thursday and get the word out to you. When I know what's going on, you'll know. That's my pledge to you. So stay tuned.
