City Rocks competiting in Peach Jam

The Albany City Rocks are one of 24 teams competing in the Peach Jam this week in North Augusta, South Carolina. The event is one of the premier recruiting spots for big-time college coaches, such as Roy Williams (North Carolina) and Mark Few (Gonzaga), among others.

Albany's Tobias Harris (actually, he's a native of Dix Hills, N.Y.) has made a big impact in the frontcourt for the City Rocks.

Harris grabbed the lead in an ESPN feature and was the subject of an USA Today article this morning, where he was compared to Carmelo Anthony.

I can't find much in the way of a bracket or updates on scores - most of the information online is about how these prospects are impressing or being wooed by the college coaches. If you have a link or more information, please feel free to post it in the comments.

The information we received from the team says they advanced to the Elite 8 and may appear on ESPN for a feature on the Peach Jam in the coming days.
