Wednesday will be quite the day for high school basketball fans in Berks County.

After a couple of thrilling games on Monday, including a last-second game-winning shot for Exeter, the fields are set for the boys and girls semifinals at Santander Arena.

Exeter, the BCIAA Division 2 winners and the tourney’s fifth seed, knocked off defending champion and fourth-seed Wilson 43-41 in one quarterfinal on Monday when Aidan Dauble hit the game-winning basket with 1.1 second left, while second-seed Muhlenberg squeaked past seventh-seeded Wyomissing 60-57.

In the other quarterfinal games on Monday, top-seed and Division 1 winner Berks Catholic defeated eighth-seeded Schuylkill Valley 58-42, and third-seeded Reading High rolled over sixth-seeded Antietam 69-43.

That sets up a quadruple header Wednesday starting at 4 p.m. at Santander with the Gov. Mifflin vs. Exeter girls semifinal first up. The Berks Catholic-Exeter boys semifinal is at 5:30 p.m., followed by Wilson vs. Reading High in the other girls semifinals and the night ends with Muhlenberg and Reading High in the second boys semifinal.
