PBC MOURNS PASSING OF COACHING LEGEND CONDO – WILL HONOR AT HALL OF FAME

The Pittsburgh Basketball Club extends its prayers and condolences to the family of coaching legend Jean Condo.

Coach Condo was a pioneer in women’s athletics locally, regionally, and nationally. As title IX became a reality for female athletes through out the nation, women’s sports had no bigger ally, advocate, and leader than Coach Condo.

At her request, her modesty would not allow us to honor her in the inaugural PBC Women’s Hall of Fame class though unanimously selected. In honor of her memory and a legacy that has and will stand the test of time in Western PA athletics, the Pittsburgh Basketball Club is honored to announce Coach Condo will be honored proper with the PBC Hall of Fame class of 2023.

Rest in peace Coach Condo. Thank you for all that you did for so many.

PENN HILLS GILES NAMED 2023 CETRONE AWARD WINNER

Penn Hills Head Coach Chris Giles has been named the winner of the 2022-23 PBC Dick Cetrone Coach of the Year award.

The Penn Hills 2022-23 season speaks for itself. 23-4 overall record, Section 2-5A Champion, WPIAL 5A champion and PIAA 5A quarterfinalist. Truly one of the best seasons in recent Penn Hills Basketball history.

The Cetrone Award is named after legendary Sto-Rox Basketball Coach Dick Cetrone, who was the founding father of the Sto-Rox Basketball dynasty, winning 1 State championship, 5 WPIAL Championships as well as 10 Section Titles. Coach Cetrone’s 1983 State Championship team was Pennsylvania’s last 32-0 undefeated state champion. The feat has since been matched by New Castle (31-0 in 2014) and Aliquippa (30-0 in 2016).

Chris will be presented with their award at the 2024 Pgh HS Classic at Montour High School as we kick off Hall of Fame week at half time of a game to be determined on January 27-28, 2024.
