The Pittsburgh Basketball Club is very proud to announce the formation of the Davis-Bruce Award as the PBC Girls Players of the Year.

The award is named after legendary women’s players Jennifer Bruce(Scott) of Carrick High School and Pitt. Jennifer was one of Pitt’s all time best players and was honored by the University in their athletic Hall of Fame.

Due to the large number of PBC Hall of Fame nominees that met ALL criteria for the Hall of Fame – We will honor all that have richly earned this distinction. To accomplish this- rather than ask anyone to wait a year-we will hold 2 Hall of Fame brunches this year- March 1 and March 8, 2026 at Montour Heights Country Club.

This allows us to properly honor and recognize all the great careers who have earned this distinction proper without having the event approach length that is somewhat unmanageable.

The PBC Hall of Fame committee is proud to welcome home the following on their respective honoree dates;
