Muhlenberg and Reading both earn home games in the opening round of the District 3 Class 6A boys basketball tournament.<\/p>\n
No. 4 Muhlenberg entertaining No. 13 Cedar Crest in a barn-burner. The Falcons get the better of things early and take a 18-16 lead after a high-scoring first quarter.<\/p>\n
The hosts would battle back and enjoy a 35-31 advantage at intermission. That was the way it would go for the rest of regulation and the score would be tied at 54-all after 32 minutes.<\/p>\n
Jemar Pauleus led all scorers with 23 points and Cedar Crest wins 66-60 in overtime. Justin Armstrong and Eli Hemmings combine for 35 points but the Muhls season comes to end with a 16-8 record.<\/p>\n
No. 5 seed Reading taking on No. 12 York in a rematch of their Dec. 6 game won by the Red Knights 70-60.<\/p>\n
The Bearcats start quick in this one, jumping out to a 7-0 lead early en route to a 22-10 lead after the first quarter.<\/p>\n
Jostin DeCastro would try to keep Reading in it with a team-high 20 points, but the hosts would find it difficult to get the deficit to single digits.<\/p>\n
Nasir Barnes scored 23 of his game-high 33 points in the second half and York wins it 86-69.<\/p>\n
The Red Knights season comes to a close with an 18-8 record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Muhlenberg and Reading both earn home games in the opening round of the District 3 Class 6A boys…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117560,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[32475,55836,36087,55834,55835,128,130,129],"class_list":{"0":"post-117559","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-reading","8":"tag-eli-hemmings","9":"tag-jemar-pauleus","10":"tag-jostin-decastro","11":"tag-justin-armstrong","12":"tag-nasir-barnes","13":"tag-reading-city","14":"tag-reading-city-headlines","15":"tag-reading-city-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117559"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117559\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
