It is called the “Backyard Brawl” in football, I call it the “Basketbrawl” when Berks Catholic and Wyomissing get together on the basketball court.  BC and Wyo are just blocks apart. Any time the Saints and Spartans match up against one another, the intensity gets ratcheted way,way up.  Lots of pre game emotion and excitement in Wyo Friday […]

Weather is such a big part of a basketball teams success each year.  The result of re-schedules means some teams are playing on back to back nights, or even mornings.  I have seen the big difference in energy and intensity levels between the rested teams and the teams playing on consecutive nights.
