That was interesting

Last night, the Time Warner Cable Sports 32 high school basketball road show was in Freedom for the girls' game between the Lady Irish and Wrightstown.

Freedom won 70-24. But, that wasn't the main story. Cory Jennerjohn of the Post-Crescent picks up the story.

With basketball being the common denominator, I wouldn't be surprised if a wedding buzzer replaced the customary wedding bells next summer.

Freedom girls' basketball coach Mike Vander Loop and Wrightstown girls' basketball coach Jen Drobnick met a couple of years ago at the WIAA girls' state basketball tournament, to change their annual nonconference meeting from an early-season tilt to a game around Christmas.

"I thought Freedom would be hard-butts about it," Drobnick said.

After accepting Wrightstown's offer, Vander Loop took Drobnick to one of the most unlikely places for a first date. But watching the NCAA men's basketball tournament at Buffalo Wild Wings was just fine with her.

"That was totally my style," Drobnick said. "I was really nervous and I had been out of (dating) for so long. He wasn't the kind of person that wanted to go someplace fancy and you can't go wrong with wings and beer, right?"

"I guess we kind of clicked from the beginning," said Vander Loop, who explained that the big day will be next summer, but the date hasn't been set yet. "
