Playoff glance: The Williamsport Millionaires

Each day leading up to the state playoffs, I'll shed light on a Delaware County team's first-round opponent in this weekend's PIAA Class AAAA playoffs. Here's the first installment:

The Williamsport Millionaires (19-7), the No. 2 seed from District 2, play Chester (28-1) Saturday at Norristown High School at 2 p.m.

The Millionaires...
  • are young. They employ an all-junior starting five.
  • are disciplined. They commit only six turnovers per game.
  • are green. They are making their first state playoff appearance since their 23-7 season in 2002.
  • are small. Among their starting five and top reserves, no one is taller than 6-foot-4.
  • have history on their side. They have won two state championships in their school history.
  • spread the ball. Each of their starters scores at least eight points per game, led by Isaiah Twine's 15 and Jadiah Lynch's 14.5 averages.
  • shoot the 3. Sean Ruaine leads the team with 70 treys this season.

For more on the Williamsport-Chester matchup and all of the PIAA Class AAAA first-round previews, check out Saturday's Daily Times. And stay close to the blog all week for more previews like this one.

Patience is a virtue. I cover more than just basketball and have my hands tied. But rest assured, there's plenty of playoff coverage coming in both the Friday and Saturday editions of the Daily Times.
