CLANCY TO RECEIVE BLANOCK COURAGE AWARD

The Pittsburgh Basketball Club is very proud to announce the winner of the 2021 Luke Blanock Courage Award is Sam Clancy.

Sam is one of Western Pa’s most decorated athletes on both the basketball court and football field. Sam is an inaugural member of the PBC Hall of Fame Legends Division and his friendship is cherished by many throughout Western PA.

This past year Sam took on his most difficult opponent… Cancer. And we are happy and relieved to say that Sam has staged a victorious battle and defeated this dreadful disease

Sam will be honored at the 2022 PBC Hall of Fame brunch on February 5, 2022 at Chartiers Country Club.

The Luke Blanock award was founded in 2016 for members of our basketball family who have staged a battle in a game far greater than a basketball game.

The award was appropriately named for Luke Blanock of Canon McMillan High School. Luke’s strength and perseverance while battling a rare form of cancer serves as an example to each and every one of us that life is to be lived to its fullest every day.

RODRIGUEZ / ANTUONO NAMED CETRONE COACH OF THE YEAR AWARD FOR 20-21 season

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.
