Highlights: James Jackson scored a game-high 32 points as top-ranked Allderdice pulled away in the second half for a 70-45 victory over Reading High in a PIAA Class AAAA semifinal at Chambersburg.

The Red Knights (28-4) trailed by just a point at halftime but were overwhelmed on the boards 25-14 by the Dragons (28-1) in the second half.

Allderdice advances to meet Roman Catholic in the state title game Saturday at Giant Center at 7.

The Dragons used a unique diamond-and-one defense to shut down Reading scoring leader Lonnie Walker IV. He didn’t make a field goal until the fourth quarter and finished with a season-low six points on just eight shots.

“I said all along, I don’t mind losing to a team that’s better than us, and they’re better than us,” said Reading coach Rick Perez.

Khary Mauras scored a team-high 16 points for Reading and topped 1,000 in the third quarter.

The loss snapped Reading’s 23-game win streak, one of the longest in team history.

The appearance in the state semifinals was the first for the Red Knights since 1983, when they were eliminated by Chester.Mauras and Walker became just the second set of Red Knights teammates to reach 1,000 points.
