District 3 Rankings-Boys Basketball

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season! High school basketball teams get back to work today across the state. It’s a good time to take a glimpse at the District III power rankings. Three of the top six teams in Class 6A are from Berks County. I’ll be in West Lawn on Monday as Wilson and Muhlenberg square off. The (8-2) Bulldogs visit Manheim Township today before hosting Penn Wood on Saturday in a tough non-league matchup. Berks Catholic is once again a serious contender in Class 4A. The (7-2) Saints travel to rival Wyomissing tonight.

As of January 1st, nine schools from the Berks Boys Basketball Conference are headed to the District III playoffs. Of course, a lot can change over the next two months. Daniel Boone is one of the squads that’s currently on the bubble in Class 5A. The Blazers are (5-4) after finishing (8-13) a season ago. Gov. Mifflin, Fleetwood, Schuylkill Valley, Brandywine Heights, and Kutztown have some work to do in order to make the District III tournament. There aren’t any teams from the Berks Conference in Class A or Class 2A.
