is the guy to go to for momentum plays and late-game shotmaking. At 6’4” with real vertical pop, he’s the kind of creative player who can swing possessions with rim protection, finish plays above traffic, and then punish defenses. He hit the game-winning basket at the buzzer in New Castle’s 52–49 WPIAL 6A semifinal win over Central Catholic. Harrison is averaging around 21.0 points per game. He is the type of player that affects winning possessions on both ends.

One of the more natural athletes across the state, Harrison has been playing at a consistently high level throughout the winter with New Castle off to an undefeated start to the year. The athletic swingman is averaging more than 15 points per game, playing an efficient complementary style on the wing. He’s effective spotting up off the ball and really thrives in transition where he can use his speed and vertical explosiveness to make momentum-swinging plays at the drop of a hat. Also a standout on the football field, it remains to be seen if Harrison will pursue hoops in college, but remains on the board as an intriguing scholarship-level option should he so choose.

Harrison’s a prospect I’ve been really high on over the last year or so. Early on he was kind of a bit of a non-factor in the scoring category unlike most of the games I’ve seen of him. He made an athletic play above the rim showed he could score from deep, but his shot wasn’t falling like it normally does. He didn’t let that define him and he was very involved in the game making hustle plays with his rebounding finding others for scoring looks. He is someone who I think should be at the top of the list for division one Jucos who are in need of a versatile athlete that can make shots. Damien finished with 14 points and had a three pointer.

Harrison is the X-factor for this Hurricanes squad in my opinion. His ability to space the floor and play above the rim in transition were seen throughout the game. His skills are very translatable to the college level. He made a few hustle plays. Was able to contest shots and rebound. Harrison had a game high 20 points with three triples. He would be a phenomenal get at the division one junior college level.

Harrison has been among the more productive performers in his class across the area over the years. An athletic shot-maker who makes his presence felt from behind the arc, he shoots a clean ball off the catch despite a slightly unorthodox stroke. He plays effortlessly above the rim while being a threat to make a highlight play at any time on either end of the floor, also showing the ability to make others better with unselfish passing ability from the wing. He’s a bit reliant on athleticism and a bit unproven vs. consistently strong competition, but shows clear scholarship-level ability nonetheless.

Harrison was a deep ball threat converting on three 3 pointers. He found ways to get rebounds due to his length. Harrison also found teammates for scoring chances of their own. I want to see him stay at home more on the defensive end and not commit bailout fouls when guarding the bucket.
