LAST GAME AT CENTRAL CATHOLIC ALUMNI HALL TO BE PLAYED MAY 28, 2025

Posted on by

 

 This summer- our basketball community will be saying goodbye to one of the most storied facilities in Western PA history – Alumni Hall at Central Catholic High School will be closing its doors after 47 years at the end of the school year as construction will begin on a brand new state of the art facility.
 
Alumni Hall has been the home of so many PBC programs over the past 30 years- Leagues-showcases, tryout and events that we are trying to think of a proper way to salute this storied facility one last time.
 
In conjunction with the Central Catholic administration, Coach Brian Urso of Central Catholic and Coach Devin Crummie of Allderdice we would like to hold one last game at Alumni Hall before the gym is torn down to make way for a brand new basketball facility that will be one of the best in the state!
 
With that thought in mind- we will host many of the top players from the WPIAL to join us for a farewell game on Wednesday May 28, 2025 at 7:00 PM.
 
With so many of Western Pa’s great teams and players to have graced the court of Alumni Hall through the years- we thought it would be a fitting send off for the grand old facility to bring the best in Western PA together for one last run!
 
More details and rosters will follow in the coming days!
