Basketball - Boys Varsity
Overview

The 2022-23 Wyoming Seminary boys basketball team
The Wyoming Seminary boys basketball program has a rich history that includes a 1972 Division B title in the Wyoming Valley Basketball League, as well as a 1986 PIAA District 2 Class A championship.
More recently, Sem enjoyed a dominant four-year span that saw the Blue Knights win four consecutive Wyoming Valley Conference divisional championships in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. That four-year stretch was highlighted by back-to-back District 2 Class 3A championships in 2018 and 2019. Sem advanced to the second round of the PIAA state playoffs in both seasons.
While Wyoming Seminary's boys basketball team plays a competitive schedule that enables student-athletes to improve their on-court abilities, the school's college preparatory curriculum prepares students for the academic rigors of college. Student-athletes are expected to work hard on and off the court, as well as handle themselves with dignity at all times, two core values of the boys basketball program.
