The 2022-23 edition of the Jay Ems High School League, formerly known as the Northeast Basketball League (NEBL), tips off next Tuesday, May 2, at Mayfair Rec Center in Northeast Philly.

It’s a strong group of schools, including four from the Catholic League — Ryan, Wood, Judge and St. Joe’s Prep — plus a few Suburban One Schools, a few Pub programs and one team coming over from South Jersey.

Blue Division: Archbishop Ryan, Archbishop Wood, Cherry Hill East (N.J.), Council Rock South, Upper Moreland, West Philadelphia
