CoBL’s annual fall boys’ event is back — and it's bigger and better than ever.

The ninth edition of the CoBL Boys’ Interstate Shootout has 116 teams locked in for this upcoming weekend at the Alan Horwitz ‘Sixth Man’ Center. Ten years after our first, 48-team shootout debuted in South Jersey, the CoBL Interstate Shootout has grown to become one of the biggest high school preseason events in the Mid-Atlantic.
The 2024 edition has teams from five different states and the District of Columbia, with teams from all over the eastern half of Pennsylvania joining a strong group of CoBL-area squads for action which will run all day Saturday and most of the day Sunday.
The participants include defending state, district and league champions from all over, including many of the top programs from the greater Philadelphia region:
Imhotep Charter has become the dominant Philadelphia powerhouse under head coach Andre Noble, continually winning Public League, District 12 and PIAA titles. The Panthers feature two rising juniors with Division I offers in point guard RJ Smith and wing Zaahir Muhammad-Gray, plus a stud 2027 in the making in forward Zion Green, ranked No. 17 in his class by ESPN. Constitution, Eng. & Sciences, Robeson, Sankofa Freedom, Abraham Lincoln and Dobbins Tech make sure the Pub has a strong representation all weekend.
The Philadelphia Catholic League has a strong presence: Archbishop Ryan, Archbishop Wood, Bonner-Prendergast, Devon Prep, Father Judge, La Salle College HS, Lansdale Catholic and West Catholic are all involved, bringing dozens of college prospects between their rosters. Father Judge has had a particularly strong summer behind 2025s Kevair Kennedy and Everett Barnes plus 2026 Derrick Morton-Henry and 2027 Nazir Tyler, but the entire league will be stacked once again.
The best of the Friends’ Schools League are all in the mix: Abington Friends, Academy New Church, Friends’ Central, George School, Shipley and Westtown represent just about all of the contenders in the FSL race, and a few contenders in the PAISAA field as well. Speaking of PAISAA schools, Perkiomen School has two different squads in the mix, while SCH Academy, Haverford School and Episcopal Academy represent the Inter-Ac.
District 1 is well represented, with the defending District 1 6A champs (Lower Merion) and 5A champs (Unionville), along with many of the top squads for this upcoming season: Coatesville, Upper Dublin, Downingtown West, Bishop Shanahan, Conestoga, Dock Mennonite, and so many others are all coming through, representing just about every league in District 1, from the PAC to the SOL to the Central, BAL and more.
The out-of-state contingent is perhaps the strongest it’s ever been at a CoBL Shootout. Powerhouses like St. Rose (N.J.), Jackson-Reed (D.C.), College Achieve (N.J.), Rutgers Prep (N.J.), Salesianum (Del.), Arts (N.J.) and more join along with some non-local PA schools like Pocono Mt. West, Chambersburg, Cumberland Valley and others from around the state who will be competing for district and state titles.
All teams in action will play two games on either Saturday or Sunday. Spectators will be charged $10 per day for admission; a weekend wristband can be purchased for $15.
CoBL will have roster packets available for college coaches; the cost will be $40 for a college’s first packet and $20 for each one thereafter.
For the first time, we’re partnering with BallerTV to stream our event. We’ll have live feeds of all six courts all weekend long, with live scores available as well as updated. CLICK HERE to purchase the livestream for this event.
