But that was then.
During this weekend's Thanksgiving Tip Off Tournament, sponsored by Allentown's East Side Youth Center, they struggled. They were actually behind in two different games, but still found a way to come back and win after a long weekend of basketball. They defeated a very tough ... and very tall ... team from Schnecksville to win the championship on Sunday at Dieruff High School.
By two points.
The 'Canes, unlike most basketball teams, are relatively short. But they have explosive speed, ball handling skill and can shoot. And they have Coach Craig Golden, who has led them to a 74-1 record over the last three years. He thought he retired from coaching last year. But his players thought otherwise, and begged him to return.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
