Established in November 2004 after 52 years of Grammar School Basketball in Mercer
County, the CYO Basketball Hall of Fame is proud to have 143 members in 4 separate categories. The categories include Male Players, Female Players, Coaches, and Referee Divisions. The first two Hall of Fame Dinners and Awards Banquets have produced hug turnouts and special Guest Speakers, including Phil Martelli, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at St. Joseph’s University, and John Castaldo, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at The College of New Jersey.
Over the last
65 seasons the CYO has graduated over 40,000 players, has had over 5,000 volunteer coaches, and over 1,000 officials work our games. The current inductees simply are the best of the best. Considered the premiere youth basketball league in Mercer County and one of the top throughout New Jersey, the CYO decided to honor its top stars with Hall of Fame status.
