City of Basketball Love

The CoBL Girls’ Winter Classic returns on Sunday, Jan. 12 with a six-game affair at Ursinus College. A dozen of the area’s best girls’ basketball teams will be coming up to Collegeville, representing the Philadelphia Public League, Inter-Ac, Catholic League, Friends’ Schools League and multiple District 1 leagues — at least one participant from all five counties in our home base. 

It's an event absolutely stacked with college-level talent, including more than a dozen committed seniors (and one junior) along with plenty of girls in all four classes who will be playing at the next level. 

We’ll have a complete preview of the event the week of, with a closer look at each of the six games. For now, here’s the schedule and a list of both committed college basketball players and prospects to watch:

Sun., January 12
10:30 AM: Germantown Academy vs. Bishop Shanahan
12:00 PM: Archbishop Carroll vs. Friends’ Central
1:30 PM: Audenried Charter vs. Notre Dame
3:00 PM Cardinal O’Hara vs. Upper Dublin
4:30 PM: Conestoga vs. Neshaminy
6:00 PM: Spring-Ford vs. Springfield (Delco.)
