Qualifiers, State Reps, and more!

Bill,

 

After hosting over 300 teams at State last season, we’re expecting close to 350 teams at the 2025 Pennsylvania Middle School Basketball Championship. To accommodate this growth, we’re adding even more new venues, including the White Gym on the Penn State campus!

 



Important Note for Boys Teams: It was recently announced that there will be a Blake Shelton concert at the 15,000-seat Bryce Jordan Center on March 22, 2025. What does this mean? Well, as this falls smack dab in the middle of our Boys Championship weekend, we strongly encourage booking your hotel rooms immediately! You needn’t qualify for States before booking: Click Here to Book
