No, although maybe someone on Pitt staff has? Harrisburg is somewhat down this year. They have Proctor but (per my sources) less balance than normal. Dice's real test will come Tuesday against MLK out of the Philly public league. Game will probably be in Chambersburg (HS) at 7 PM (with Erie C. Prep-Archbishop Carroll AAA semi, also on Tuesday, probably in Williamsport). I'm sure tickets will be available at the door if anyone wants to leave work early and make that lovely 2.5/3 hour drive (partly down Rt. 30) to see them. Otherwise hope they win and watch the AAAA Championship @ 8 on PCN Saturday night (probably against Roman Catholic).
I have seen them play 3 times. They are very good and extremely well coached. I have known coach smallwood from harrisburgh since the early 80,s and he does a great job as well. For what it is worth proctor from harrisburgh is trying to get out of his committment to holy cross due to coach firing. He would be a player worth looking at. Allerdice is all underclassmen.
Yeah, I saw them play their first PIAA Playoff game against erie mcdowell at brashear. The Jackson twins look very talented and they made it look effortless. The point guard (#11 I believe) had a highlight reel dunk in the second half. That was followed up with a sick breakaway slam by one of the Jackson twins. Those three players alone can really really play.
Wishing them best of luck the rest of the way. That team should be stacked for years.

Well, since you asked, yes, I saw them beat Mt. Lebanon last week at NA HS. Allderdice is quick and plays at a fast tempo. They did not look like a strong outside shooting team but they wore down Mt. Lebo in the 2nd half with the pressing three quarters court defense. The Dragons are not particularly big either, even for high school standards.
The Jackson twins are good but I don't know if they are good enough to play beyond mid major status. Nevertheless, they are probably the team to beat in the City next year. I'm sure Dixon and staff will take a look at some of these kids but it may not go beyond that.
