PRO-AM 2016

 

pbc-proam-2012 final-3

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.

After an unfortunate 1 year hiatus, and much encouragement from the basketball community, we have tentatively placed this event on the dais for the summer 2016 and will finalize the league with area college coaches in April 2016.

THANK YOU!!!

Thank you to all the teams, players, coaches and honorees who made the 2016 Hall of Fame weekend a big success! Its hard to put into words what a SOLD OUT Hall of Fame Brunch at the Doubletree Hotel, 3 SOLD OUT games at the High School Classic mean to me. This past weekend was everything I envisioned a basketball celebration of Western PA basketball and I hardly the words to express my gratitude to so many who did so much.

Plans are under way for Hall of Fame weekend 2017!
