FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

*Premier Pre-Season Basketball Tournament Set to Light Up Allentown on October 11*

Allentown, PA – July 28, 2025 – Black Cager Sports is thrilled to announce the return of the Black Cager Fall Classic to the Executive Education Fieldhouse in Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, October 11, 2025. Celebrating a decade of elite competition, the Fall Classic has solidified its reputation as one of the East Coast’s premier pre-season basketball showcases, drawing top high school talent, college scouts, and passionate fans from across the region.

Since its inception in 2015, the Black Cager Fall Classic has become a must-attend event for players, coaches, and basketball enthusiasts alike. The tournament has played a pivotal role in elevating mid-Atlantic scholastic basketball, providing unmatched exposure through live streaming, social media coverage, and high-level competition. Each year, the event delivers a significant economic boost to Allentown as teams and fans travel in to witness the action.

“The Executive Education Fieldhouse is the perfect home for the Fall Classic,” said Delgreco Wilson, founder of Black Cager Sports. “When we moved the event here, we knew we had found something special—a world-class facility with four courts, ample parking, and an incredible fan experience. This is where the Fall Classic belongs, and we’re proud to make it our permanent home.”

With over 2,300 college players entering the transfer portal in 2025, roster management has never been more critical. The Fall Classic offers high school coaches a unique opportunity to evaluate their teams in competitive game settings before the official season tips off. For college coaches, the event serves as a key scouting platform, allowing them to identify rising stars early in the year.

Robert Lysek, Chief Executive Officer of Executive Education Academy Charter School, echoed the excitement: “The Black Cager Fall Classic has become a beloved tradition in Allentown, bringing elite basketball talent to our city and introducing new visitors to the Executive Education Fieldhouse each year. We’re honored to partner with Black Cager Sports to host such a prestigious event.”

The tournament’s legacy speaks for itself. NBA standouts like Derik Queen (New Orleans Pelicans), Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons), Bub Carrington (Washington Wizards), Jamir Watkins (Washington Wizards), and Collin Gillespie (Phoenix Suns) all showcased their skills at past Fall Classics. The event has also been a launching pad for college stars such as Derek Simpson (Saint Joseph’s), DJ Wagner (Arkansas), and Zion Stanford (Villanova). Even Hall of Fame coaches like Bill Self (Kansas), John Calipari (Arkansas), and Danny Hurley (UConn) follow the action closely, using livestreams and game footage to evaluate talent.

Don’t miss the 2025 Black Cager Fall Classic—where the next generation of basketball stars takes center stage!
