For decades, the traditional early season non-league matchup between the Reading High Red Knights and the Chester Clippers has served as a December test for both schools and a potential preview of a state playoff matchup later in the season.
Two elite 6A Pennsylvania high school programs with a rich tapestry of championship seasons like Reading and Chester don’t just hope to play in March – they plan to play in March.
This season isn’t any different. The current incarnation of the Red Knights is a contender once again and for good reason. With a talented roster, they have every expectation to be playing for both another District 3 championship and state title.
Reading came into the game undefeated and after a 71-57 victory over the Clippers, the Red Knights remained perfect, improving their record to 7-0.
