Philadelphia High School Basketball

50-Year Teams by Letters (Last Name), 1971-2020
Public League / Catholic League / Inter-Ac League

  The teams below represent the best players and coaches, by letter,
over the 50 seasons from 1971 through 2020. Seventeen letters have
their own teams: A-B-C-D-F-G-H-J-K-L-M-O-P-R-S-T-W. Nine
letters are part of three teams: E-I-N (starting last name), Q-U-Y
(somewhere in last name) and V-X-Z (also somewhere in last name).
  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 letters were outrageously strong.
  Coaches must have worked for at least five seasons within the
1971-2020 time frame.
  Note: Only players from the three city leagues are included and
players who transferred out of the city leagues are NOT included.
  Now on middle portion of page . . . Teams/coaches by school

  Now on botttom portion of page . . . Overall teams/coaches
