What better place to host the City League basketball championships than the Petersen Event Center? And the heavily favored Allderdice Dragons (22-2) didn’t disappoint by easily defeating Obama (14-6) Saturday afternoon.
This was the first time since 2009 that the City League championship games were played at a college arena. Six years ago, the games were at Duquesne University’s Palumbo Center. The past five years the City title games were played at a high school gym.
We have been fighting for a college venue for a longtime,” said school board President Thomas Sumpter. “Things didn’t get finalized until last week and we hope to be back here again next year.”
Fans at the Petersen Event Center watched as Allderdice etched their name in the history books by beating the Eagles. For the first time ever, the Allderdice boys basketball team has claimed city dominance by winning five of the past six City League basketball titles.
