OZANAM DEFEATS PBC 131-120 IN SHOWCASE
The inaugural PBC-Ozanam Showcase at Montour High School was a huge success. The Ozanam team, lead by MVP Jordan Rawls of Allderdice’s 26 points defeated the PBC squad 131-120. The PBC squad was led by PBC MVP Nick Aloi with 32 points.
The gym for this event was filled with legends of Western PA basketball, both past, present and future as well as dozens of college scouts. A new tradition was born and we are looking forward to hosting the event along with Darelle Porter of the Ozanam Center in 2017. We are in the planning stages of adding a Girls game as well as a Future Stars game for next year as well as the Skills Competition, 3 point shooting contest and Slam Dunk contest held the night before the games.
Thank you to the many who came out and supported the kids and we are looking forward to seeing every one in 2017!

D-II-DIII PRO AM SET FOR LAROCHE COLLEGE
We are very pleased to announce we will again hold the 2016 PBC D-II/III Pro Am Summer League at the air conditioned Kerr Center on the campus of LaRoche College.
The league is unique in that NCAA rules allow players at this level to play collectively as a team. This is a great opportunity for players who will be freshman in the Fall of 2016 to become acclimated to the speed of collegiate basketball.
Tentative start date of late June (we are awaiting for the approved dates for games but we are trying for the Tuesday-Thursday of past years). League schedule of 6 regular season games with Top 4 making the playoffs.
Championship game July 21, 2016 at Montour High School prior to the Division I championship.

After dozens of calls, emails, texts, tweets, inquiries and requests from players and fans alike, we have tentatively planned to bring back to Montour Athletic Center the Pro-Am Summer League. With capacity crowds and the best players from area colleges, the league was one of the best college summer leagues on the eastern seaboard for years.
