Morning Call Senior sportswriter Keith Groller covered four 6A playoff basketball games at two different locations on Saturday. Tonight he was right back in the thick of things, covering a 5A semifinal between Allentown Central Catholic and Pottsville High School. In addition to his excellent recap of Central's 57-41 Monday night win over this always tough team from coal cracker country, I recommend you check out his tweets, which invariably include video highlights .
The 5A Final is set for Thursday night, 7 pm, at Pleasant Valley High School against Bangor. The Slaters had been playing minus Ben Holland, but he's back. They qualified for the finals on Monday night by demolishing Blue Mountain, 73-57.
When the Slaters and Vikings meet on Thursday night, it will bring back memories for Coach Bron Holland. According to Groller, Holland was one of the Slater Superstars who knocked off the Vikings by two in a game played at. Stabler.
Central knows it will have its hands full on Thursday night fighting off Tony Jones, Ben Holland and Big Bernard Davis. Though both teams are now going into the state tournament, they both want to go in as District XI Champs.
There can only be one.
