The Reading Red Knights capped their season of dreams with a convincing 90-56 win over the visiting Exeter Eagles tonight at the Geigle. Here are my thoughts on the game:
- Smart move by the coaching staff in holding Trenity Burdine out of tonight's game. The only meaning of tonight's game was on whether we finished off the regular season undefeated. The 6 days off should really come in handy as we have some players who need to heal the bumps and bruises.
- Was kind of disappointed with the sluggish start. But as any championship team does they finished the final three quarters strong. Things really started to pick up for us when Dawkins got into the game. The one thing that I really took notice to when Marcus got in the game was that our defensive intensity really came to the forefront.
- I thought the perfect example of what this team is all about was tonight when reserve forward By-Nee Waples had a dunk in the closing minutes and the bench just rose to their feet. Things like this show how they are one unit and have great chemistry and camaraderie. This team has taken a lot of insults and criticisms from outsiders and have played hard all year and given the school and the city something to be very proud of.
- As we look ahead to the county playoffs we will play the second place finisher out of Berks IV. With us being well rested it should really help since whoever we play assuming that the Berks IV race goes to a tiebreaker will have played a hard fought game on Friday night and then have to ratchet it up to play us while we have been healing since Tuesday night.
