FROM KEITH GROLLER
Looks like the pipeline that ran from Allentown to Faith Christian in Sellersville is over.
Starting in the 1990s with the very talented Danny Hargrove, who went on to play at UNC-Greensboro and East Stroudsburg University, many Allentown kids began attending and playing basketball at the small Christian school about a 35-minute drive from the city.
As recently as last year, several Allentown kids played for the Lions.
But I was informed that Tyler Rockmore, a junior guard, who helped Faith Christian go 21-6 last year and reach the District One Class A finals and the state tournament, will be attending William Allen this year and will compete for a roster spot and playing time on Doug Snyder's baskeball team.
The Canaries graduated four starters, including guards Branden Harrington and Robert Rodriguez, from its District 11 4A championship team.
Tyler lives in Allentown. He is the son of Wall2Wall Urban Youth Network founder and director Chuck Rockmore, who runs the popular Wall2Wall Adult Mid-Summer Basketball Classic at Allentown's Roosevelt Park every July.
Rockmore, who had 33 3-pointers last season and averaged in double digits, played with Faith throughout the summer. The team went 7-7 in the Stellar Cedar Beach Summer League,
Allen also had a solid summer, reaching the finals of the SportsFest tournament and the semifinals of the Stellar Summer League before losing to Freedom.
