Recap of Scrimmage at CD East

This past weekend there was a Tri Team Scrimmage held at CD East which featured Susquehanna and York to go along with CD East....  It was a nice size crowd for this scrimmage as the anticipation for the new basketball season was underway....   Here's what I saw at the scrimmage for the day....

Try Outs in Central PA for PIAA Schools

As Football season comes to an end, Basketball season begins....   For the kids who went to every open gym, every weight training session, ran all of those bleachers, worked with personal trainers, YOUR day is here....    For all of those kids who have dreams and hopes of player for their neighborhood school, this week just doesn't get any better....  

Major Preparation (MP) is at it again as Dunkdog.com checks out the Talent

On a beautiful Sunday morning while most kids are in bed sleeping, there was a group of 13 kids going through a MAJOR WORKOUT with MAJOR PREPARATION so they can get MAJOR RESULTS.....   Bryan Majors, the CEO and owner of MP, took time out of his busy schedule to teach a group of 7th and 8th graders (plus one 6th grader) how to play the game of basketball....  This was probably the most intense workout most of these kids had ever seen in their short lives.....

Fall Elementary League for Harrisburg School District

At one time there was not much for the youth in the inner city to do after football was over, now these same kids have a plethora of options.....   Harrisburg School District and Athletic Director/Cougar Head Coach Kirk Smallwood have teamed up to offer a league for boys and girls ages 8 to 12 years old.....

Harrisburg vs Chester at the Kimber Gymnasium was another classic

Sorry I'm a little late on this one but if you happened to miss the tournament weekend at John Harris HS, you missed a good one....    The gym was loaded with talent as well as a few College coaches....   Everyone in attendance was waiting to get a good look at the 2 time PIAA State Champs Chester HS with future McDonald All American and Arizona signee Rondae Jefferson....  Of course the showdown we all were waiting for was Harrisburg vs Chester, and we all got just that....

Top players to watch this season in Central PA.....

I know it's a little early for this but what's the harm in taking a look at some of the top players in the area on their VARSITY TEAMS....    These guys will play a huge role for their schools not only this year, but in some cases for the next few years....   More of a detailed list will come out later, but here's a shortened version.....

Girls Basketball Exposure Showcase is here....

If you've been waiting patiently for a showcase for the females, look no further....   Lehigh Valley Basketball Rankings is one of the top exposure events in PA and has a camp specifically for HS girls or VERY TALENTED 8th graders as well.....

Why won't Mid Penn Teams seek Competition????

I often wonder to myself, why kids in the Harrisburg, PA area often get stuck playing lower level basketball after high school.....   Is it because they just aren't talented?   Or maybe it has something to do with location, kids would rather stay close to home.....    I'm really not sure, but whatever the reason may be, we have to figure out a solution fast.....

Red Land Grad Duke Antonelli walks on at Wake Forest....

Big Congrats go out to Duke on making the team at Wake Forest as a walk on.....  He shows that hard work really does pay off......

NIKE Pre Draft Camp was a HUGE SUCCESS!!!!!

Coach Jamal Robinson with a camper at NIKE PDC

The first ever NIKE Pre Draft Camp held in the Harrisburg area was everything it was hyped up to be....  It drew some of the top young talent in not only the Harrisburg area, but also in the York and Lancaster area as well....  The NIKE PDC was a little different than what most people were used to...   This camp had a huge focus on THINKING the game of basketball and reading the offense and defense.....
