NATIONAL ALL STAR GAME RETURNS TO WESTERN PA
This past fall during the kickoff to the PBC 25th anniversary celebration, we honored several greats of Western PA basketball history. All of these players shared many common traits, among them appearing in an annual All Star game at the Civic Arena that featured the PA All Stars vs the USA All Stars.
In the following days and weeks, more people called than I could list to hold a game that paid tribute to this legendary event of Western Pa Basketball. With the help of Tony DiMaria, LeWay Enterprises and the good folks at adidas, on April 27, 2019 at the Montour Athletic Center, we are proud to host the PBC ROUNDBALL- our salute to this great Western Pa basketball tradition.
In honoring the tradition of the original game, we will host 2 games on April 27 at Montour.
6:30 PM- WPIAL NORTH vs. WPIAL SOUTH
8:00 PM -PA ALL STARS vs. USA ALL STARS .
Listed below are links to the rosters and we are confident that our area’s best will be featured in our local All Star game as well as our PA team against some of the top players from across the USA.
We are honored to be hosting future players for Pitt, West Virginia, Duquesne and Robert Morris. Join us in welcoming our area’s stars of the future to Western PA. A slam dunk contest will also be held between games.
Tickets are only $20.00 and may be purchased in advance by calling 412-506-7978. We are expecting the game to sell out.
There will never be another Roundball like the great games hosted by Sonny Vaccaro. They were virtually previews of future NBA All Star games. That said, we think we are hosting some outstanding local and national talent and we are hoping this evening of basketball that pays homage to a great tradition of Western PA allows the region the opportunity to again host a national All Star game.
Lets sell out Montour and show the basketball world we can support a national event!
