My O my have times changed...  I can remember the days when having an air conditioner was a luxury...  or getting rides from game to game by parents was as rare as finding a $2 Bill.....   Most of the times as kids, we had to find a tree outside and find shade just to keep it cool....

Glad to see that another young guy from the Harrisburg area is living their dream....  6'6 shooting guard Jonas Page from Susquehanna TWP HS has agreed to take his talents to Division 1 Florida International in the Fall.....   This is a big deal for him and his family because he has always had the talent but Central PA really lacks the proper exposure for kids to get looked at by bigger schools....   Page is Coach Vince Rogers 1st Division 1 signee and with the talent in that school district, we may see more in the future....

Mansfield Prospect Camp review

This past Saturday I was able to travel to Mansfield, PA to watch some of the local talent from Central PA compete at Mansfield University....  This one day camp was put together by Coach Will Cabrera and he did a fabulous job....  The kids ran through lots of College pace drills so they can get an idea of how a competitive College practice looked at one of the top schools in a very competitive PSAC division....

Thinking about "RE CLASSIFYING"? DO YOUR HOMEWORK 1st.....

Reclassification of a student-athlete can be a touchy subject, and it is done much more often than it should be.

Local Players show their stuff at The College Exposure Showcase at Milton Hershey

CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLLEGE!!!!!!!!

OK, I think this is a topic that has been long overdue....  I think it's time that these kids get some insight on picking a school for them and staying there to get their degree....

Far too many times, kids have too many people in their ear...  I call these people "Street handlers"...  They say that their helping kids choose the right school for the kids best interest but in reality it's in the Handlers best interest....

Predictions for Tuesday 1/15/13.....

Let's see how these games break down for Tuesday....

Lower Dauphin @ McDevitt -  This game has some meaning to it as Lower Dauphin has surprised everyone through the first half of the season....  Sitting in 2nd place in a tough Keystone division with a 6-3 record, LD is playing some good basketball....   McDevitt (5-4) on the other hand was expected to be a little higher up, but that could change with a victory tomorrow...   Dyllon will have to bring his game this time because top players can't afford to have minimal contributions for their team...  He's too talented to perform again the way he did against Susquehanna.....  The "X" factor for McDevitt is combo guard Donte Vaughn....  Donte can not get caught up in just being a shooter...  He has to do more things consistently like rebound, defend, be a playmaker and energize his team.....   This is a key game for both teams but I see McDevitt pulling it out by 11 points...

Congrats to Nehemiah "Bud" Mack: Patriot News Player of the Week...

We at Central PA Bball would like to congratulate 6'0 Freshman Guard Nehemiah "Bud" Mack for having an outstanding week for Susquehanna as they went 4 -0 last week....  

Game of the Day: Trinity @ Susquehanna

Something new we're looking to start is having the game of the day....   Today's game is the HIGHLY ANTICIPATED match up between two of the HEAVYWEIGHTS in the State, Trinity and Susquehanna...

What type of player are colleges looking for these days????

If a kid is hoping that one day they can play in that good ole March Madness, it's a good idea to know how to get there....  Most kids think they need to score a bunch of points in order to get a scholarship, but that's not always true...  How good would every school be if ALL they had were scorers?  Not that good....   There would be no playmakers, rebounders, defenders, etc.....
