Reading 94 Muhlenberg 48

The Reading Red Knights had a dominating performance tonight in a 94-48 win over the Muhlenberg Muhls. The win leaves the Red Knights one win away from a perfect regular season. Here are my thoughts on the game:

1. I know we have had a lot of impressive wins this year, but I think this was our most dominant performance of the year. It seems awkward to say but the game was over four minutes in. I think you would be hard pressed to find anything to complain about in our game tonight. Also should be noted that every player on the Reading rosters scored a point tonight and every player except for Camara had a field goal.
2. Macho set the tempo tonight. He ramped up the defense on Muhlenberg's best player Derek Zeller and constantly knifed through the lane and attacked the rim. Earlier in the week Macho had called out Zeller and had told him he was coming for him. So it is refreshing to see a player who can talk the talk but also walk the walk. I also think you will be hard pressed to find a faster point guard in the state of Pennsylvania.
3. Jermaine Jackson looked better tonight on his injured ankle. I don't think he has quite the same explosiveness but he did make his presence felt as he was much better tonight than he was last night.
4. Jordan Burdine led all scorers with 15 points and 8 assists. Once again with Jordan out their it showed how potent our offense is and is almost impossible to hold down for a whole game.
5. I thought Coach Reyes and his coaching staff coached the pants off the Muhlenberg coaching staff. First, he had his team ready for bear tonight and they were locked in from the start. He also earns points running 2 guys at Derek Zeller in the first quarter which helped to get Muhlenberg on their heels. It amazes me how these teams who just don't have the horses try and run up and down the court against the Red Knights. It is like they are playing Russian Roulette. The other thing amazes me with our opponents is how they always come out in zone and we just shoot them right out of the game early on.
6. With tonight's win we are the number 1 seed in the District III AAAA tournament and are probably looking at a first game being played at Governor Mifflin or Wilson.
