Overview
- The fifth annual event runs Jan. 16–18 across York High, Penn State York and Hannah Penn, with Penn State York stepping in after York Tech could not host this year.
- Organizers report the largest field to date, with WGAL citing 52 teams over three days and PennLive listing 44 games across the three sites.
- Programs are traveling from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Georgia and West Virginia, plus one Canadian team, reflecting the showcase’s expanding regional reach.
- Student-athletes read aloud and sign an anti-racism pledge, which has drawn roughly 7,000 to 8,000 signatures over five years, with clips of Dr. King’s speeches played between games.
- Tickets are sold as day passes covering all venues ($6 students, $12 adults) with online purchase encouraged via GoFan, and livestreams are available through Roxamore Sports Network.
