Unbelievable
loss for Chester, as the Boys Basketball team went up against Lower Merion for
the PIAA State Championship title. The report, Lower Merion won over Chester 63
to 47.
No, I did
not make the long trip to Hershey to see the game. No, I did not watch the game
on TV. And no, I did not pay to watch the game online. Call it a bad feeling,
but I decided to wait for the news to come out, win or not. The game preview had Chester winning by 18
points not losing by 16 especially to a team they have beaten before. That’s
what makes it so unbelievable but I wasn’t there to see the game. Chester is a
much better team than Lower Merion. I am glad I’m not a gambler because I would
have lost this bet big time.
But there is
nothing wrong with getting silver. Chester certainly has proven itself as
winners with back to back State Championships. Jack McCaffery said it best, “And
despite the finish, Chester will be remembered for winning 79 consecutive games
against Pennsylvania teams, for its dual championships, and for the
first-in-school history perfect season of 2012.” McCaffery also asked some
tough questions about the future of Chester basketball and the looming prospect
of the district. To read more Click Here
