Hopefully, you’ve finished shoveling and you have some time to take a look at the District 3 boys basketball playoff picture. There are two weeks remaining in the regular season so teams still have a chance to improve their seed. A higher seed gives you an opportunity for more home games in the tournament. As of today, ten teams from the Berks Conference would qualify for the District 3 playoffs. Oley Valley, Brandywine Heights, and Kutztown are on the bubble. In fact, the final berth in Class 3A could come down to the Bullets and the Cougars. Kutztown beat Brandywine Heights in both regular season matchups, but the Cougars’ power ranking (.442) is lower than the Bullets’ rating (.454). Berks Catholic (.805) has an edge over Bishop McDevitt (.779) for the top spot in Class 4A. Muhlenberg and Reading are chasing Central Dauphin and Central York in Class 6A. There aren’t any teams from the Berks Conference in Class 2A or Class A.
