The “Jungle Classic” brought basketball players from Pittsburgh area high schools together on Sunday for a sudden-death tournament. The newly renovated basketball court known as “The Jungle” acted as the stage for players from Perry Traditional Academy, Taylor Allderdice High School, Valley High and more. Cole and Clay McCloskey of the Pittsburgh-based creative agency, Hounds, along with Janel Young and nonprofit, Swish Dreams helped bring new life to the beloved Northside court. The Taylor Allderdice Dragons came out on top as champions of the Jungle Classic.
