Here's what we think the outcomes of these games will be for today.....
Lets have some fun...
Harrisburg @ Carlisle - These are two of the most athletic teams in the Mid Penn so this should be a fun type up and down the court game.... One problem for Carlisle is will they have the energy to sustain for 4 quarters??? Harrisburg will use 12 - 13 guys to wear them down so what may seem like a close game in the beginning, will eventually open up Patterson and Cooksey-Easter need to pressure the ball big time.... Harrisburg by 17 pts......
Chambersburg @ CD East - Here's a rematch of the District Semis in which The Trojans had CD East's number..... Both teams are playing well but C-Burg has a new rising star in Evason Ogbonna as he is lighting it up so far.... add in Big 15 player Kellen Williams plus 6'8 Mitch Stahl and they look really good all over again..... CD East has Eddie "Always Steady" Cowan running the show in his 4th year as the starting pg... His sidekick Anthony "AWright" Wright is very reliable but East has a very small lineup which could hurt them on the glass.... I'm calling Chambersburg by 9 pts!
Lebanon Christian @ Emmanuel Baptist - These two schools had some tremendous battles last year as they split the series... Lebanon went on to win the KCEA State tournament behind they stellar play of Justin Alverez... Word is he moved to another area so that could hurt them... Jr. pg Kareem Oden and 8th grader Tyrece Little has been really steady for EBCA and with Collin Reeves and Tim Kile hawking the ball, this could be a very high scoring game.... I'm predicting EBCA by 15 pts....
East Pennsboro @ Milton Hershey - MH may have a bad record but make no mistake, these guys can ball.... Led by State High Jumping champ Ibn Short, I expect to see these guys begin to get a lot more wins... East Pennsboro has a little more flavor this year by adding Brooklyn born Jose Battle.... This southpaw can flat out go, and it will be tough to stop him.... Coach Bean will put his EP Panthers in position but MH depth may hurt .... MH by 3 in a close one.....
Middletown @ Camp Hill - This year when you hear Middletown, it's all about Trent Zimmerman (22ppg).... He's going to need some help because every team will design their defense to stop him... On the flip side, Camp Hill has the same issue with Deshawn Williams.... He will take his 19ppg and try and lead his team to a victory.... Camp Hill is under a new coach with a new system which could take some time to adjust to.... but M-Town just don't have much this year.... Camp Hill wins at home by 8 pts as Williams has a great game.....
Mifflin vs Cumberland Valley - Welcome to the Mid Penn Mifflin, sorry you had to face these guys first.... at CV makes it no easier too... Expect CV to have a really good game as their size will bother Mifflin all night... Mifflin is led by Seth Wagner and Curtis Jerzerick who avg 18 and 19 respectively... I'm pretty sure they haven't seen a team like CV yet so let's see what happens... CV by 23 pts....
State College at Central Dauphin - This may end up being one of the best games of the night... State College always has a good program and this year is no different led by Brian Sekunda and his 22ppg avg... They will just have to get used to facing good teams night in and night out.... CD has lots of shooters but if they're going to be successful, they need Zayd Issaih to help in that paint area.... I'm going out on a ledge to say SC steals one on the road and wins by 7 pts...
Steelton @ Northern York - Steelton will get their first win as they dominate Northern York..... Now is the time for them to find their grove... Steelton by 24 pts....
