Please join us for some great basketball before the season tips off in just 2 weeks!

The PBC kicks off its Hall of Fame festivities January  22, 2022 with the annual Legends Classic at Moon High School.  This years event will be a boys-girls Quadruple header!

2 great boys and girls games are scheduled for the event!

Please come out and support a great event! The schedule is as follows: 

OLSH Head Coach Mike Rodriguez and Ellwood City Head Coach Steve Antuono have been named the winners of the 2020 PBC Dick Cetrone Coach of the Year award.

The OLSH 2020-21 season speaks for itself. 24-0 overall record, Section Champion, WPIAL 2A champion and PIAA 2A champion. Truly one of the best seasons in OLSH Basketball history.

The Ellwood City 2020-21 season speaks for itself. 14-5 overall record, WPIAL 3A champion and PIAA playoff participant. Truly one of the best seasons in recent Ellwood City Basketball history. What the record does not reflect is the rebuilding of this program you have done over the past few years.

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).

Mike and Steve will be presented with their award at the 2022 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 30, 2022.

2021 Fall Leagues have tipped off at 3 different sites through out Western PA. Great basketball can be found at Central Catholic on Monday nights, at Montour on Wednesday nights and at Moon on a combination of Monday’s, Wednesdays and Thursday nights. JV and schools that have been hit hard by players playing football also play at Moon.

The league will culminate with a 10 team Fall Championship tournament at Montour beginning November 1, 2021.
