Philadelphia High School Basketball, 50-Year Teams by Letter

Philadelphia High School Basketball

50-Year Teams by Geography, 1971-2020
Four Teams in Philly, Two in Suburbs
Public League / Catholic League / Inter-Ac League

  Look below for teams and explanations of breakdowns.
  These teams were difficult to pick and the decisions were based
on high school performances. How difficult? Even some Players
of the Year (and future NBA players) did not make the cut because
the teams for some areas were outrageously strong.

  Thanks for checking out these teams.
