Perfection in Chester

Perfection.

It’s pretty hard to achieve. Most of us fail miserably. I know I do just about every day.

That’s why I appreciate what the Chester boys basketball team is trying to do.

The Clippers waxed another foe, Central Dauphin, last night to advance to the PIAA AAAA state title game Saturday night.

You can read about it here.

Chester High has now played 31 games this year. They have walked off the floor victorious 31 times.

31-0.

One more win, against vaunted, longtime nemesis Lower Merion on Saturday night, and they will repeat as state champions.

Back-to-back titles.

The perfect season.

It will be considered a major upset if they lose. Then again, it’s pretty much an upset anytime Chester High loses on the hardwood. That is their legacy.

There are very few sports traditions that can rival Chester High hoops.

And you can put this team at the very top of that illustrious list.
