Inter-Ac
League Champions
Return to TedSilary.com Home Page
Notes: In 2019, Haverford School (28-0) became the first Inter-Ac
team to finish with a perfect overall record since Friends' Central
(21-0) in 1939.
In 2022, Penn Charter's John Owens became the first Black
coach to win an Inter-Ac basketball championship. His starting
lineup included five Black starters and that was also a first for a|
hoops champ (brothers Trey and Kai Shinholster, Mark Butler,
Keith Gee and Isaiah Grimes).
