Rick Perez said his young Reading High team showed a lot more resilience Tuesday at Chester than it did in its season-opening loss to Williamsport.The Red Knights showed more than that.

They showed an explosive side and that good things are on the way during a furious fourth-quarter rally that came up short in a 77-72 loss.

A ragged start to the second half put the Knights (3-2) in big hole, one they nearly dug all the way out of with a 26-point fourth quarter.

Senior guard Wesley Butler jammed 14 of his team-high 27 points into the final quarter, helping Reading pull within 69-68 at one point.

Twice they turned it into a one-possession game, the last time after freshman Joey Chapman banked in a free throw to make it 71-70 with 54 seconds left.

The Clippers (3-2) extended their lead with one of many transition buckets by sophomore standout Karrell Watkins, who finished with 27 points, 11 boards and five assists.
