Boys AAAA
This is one I can keep short.
The Boys 4-A title will reside in Berks County. Reading by far is the best team in the 4-A field. They are 26-0 and many are already talking about the Red Knights playing Chester and Pennsbury in the state playoffs.
I think the most interesting first round game is Harrisburg vs. McCaskey. Hard to believe that the 'Burg is an 18th seed and had to play a play-in game just to qualify. This one matches two programs with a lot of talent and some pretty good history. They also have a couple of proven coaches in Kurt Smallwood and Steve Powell. I can still see Smallwood's face back when he was at C.D. East, playing in the Columbia Tournament, watching Charlie Detz steal the ball and lumber in for a layup to win the game.
Other L-L teams in the field are Conestoga Valley, Cedar Crest and E-town,who actually play each other and Hempfield.
Of those teams, I see Hempfield and Cedar Crest advancing far. I do like the way E-town plays, but they just might be overmatched in the Class AAAA field.
By the way, whatever happened to Jim Gano, who use to coach at Reading. I remember the wars he use to have with Marty Benkovic, who was a legend at Steel-High.
Also saw recently where former Red Knight Stu Jackson was back in town. Now a suit for the NBA, he went out west to play college ball. Remember that afro?
Seeds are Reading (1), McCaskey (2), C.D. East (3) and Cedar Crest (4).
