The Reading Red Knights improved their record to a perfect 20-0 with a 89-54 win over the Fleetwood Tigers at Fleetwood High School tonight. Here are my thoughts on the game:
- Jermaine Jackson turned and ankle tonight as he stepped on a Fleetwood player. At first it looked pretty bad but he was able to put weight on it and did return to action for a couple of minutes. Good job by Coach Reyes to get him out of the game once it was clear that the game was well in hand. Hopefully with some treatment he will be able to play on Thursday but it would be foolish to rush him back out their. Our 20-0 record has afforded us the chance to rest some guys if they really need it.
- It was good to see Jordan Burdine at least in street clothes rooting on his teammates. Also, was nice to see him sit next to the coach and have a smile on his face. I think what Coach Reyes will do is have him work his way back into the starting lineup. I would guess he probably will come off the bench on Thursday and Friday nights for about 8-10 minutes a game, then hopefully have him start on senior night.
- Good to see us shoot a much better percentage at the foul line tonight as we went 6-8 from the line. The only negative I thought we gave up way too many easy baskets but I don't think its anything to get bent out of shape about. Because on Saturday night West York did not have a field goal in the last 3:30 of the game.
- One thing we have really found out over the last four games is that we can count on Joshua Sheriff to come off the bench and give the squad some offense. It was also good to see Demrick Cook have a solid game in extended play tonight. Demrick should be lauded for how good of a team player he has cause most kids who are starters at the beginning of the season and then our relegated to playing 6-8 minutes a game would just quit and he hasn't complained and just worked hard.
