FROM CHANNEL 69
2011 is coming to an end and we had a lot of great moments thanks to the local Berks County athletes.
But there is one story that sticks out a little more than the rest - the magical and improbable run of the Reading Central Catholic baseball team.
In February the Allentown Archdioceses announced Reading Central Catholic would be closing its doors and merging with Holy Name in the fall of 2011.
All central Catholic teams would be playing their final season as Cardinals.
In May, the baseball team entered the District III Class A tournament as the 10tg seed with just four wins to its name.
They promptly rattled off seven straight wins, taking home their first and only district baseball title and advancing all the way to the state title game.
They lost the PIAA Class A title game to Serra Catholic, but their run in the district and state tournament kept Central Catholic's traditions alive even after the school had shut its doors.
The Cardinals' historic run tops our list as the top story of 2011
