The tournament culminates with the “Night of Champions” on July 1, 2021 at the Montour Athletic Center where we will crown Summer Champions in the JV, A-AAAAA and AAA-AAAAAA divisions and rising 9th grade championship. We will also be naming the annual Wovchko Award winner as Summer League MVP.

We have Varsity sites at Moon, Montour, Central Catholic, North Hills and Carlynton. We also have JV and Freshman leagues going on at Moon and North All.

With an abundance of caution, and after meeting with the Hall of Fame committee and local health officials, we have made the decision to delay our annual Hall of Fame induction ceremonies for both the men and women to honor the class of 2020.

The women’s banquet has been rescheduled to November 6, 2021 at the banquet room at Rockefellers Grille.

The men’s banquet has been rescheduled to February 5, 2022 at Chartiers Country Club 

This decision is not an easy one, but is the correct one. Additional time is needed for many to be vaccinated properly from the COVID challenges facing our entire country. We want to host all of the Hall of Famers and their guests in celebration of the highest honor in Western PA basketball.  But at this time, health guidelines simply will not allow us the capacity to properly host the Hall of Fame inductees and their families.

I will post more information as it becomes available. I thank everyone for their understanding in this difficult decision and I look forward to seeing everyone soon! Please stay safe everyone!

Best regards!

John Giammarco

Director Pittsburgh Basketball Club
