Pennington basketball continues to add to the longstanding tradition of highly competitive basketball teams that have donned the black and red on the courts. The basketball program has won seven Prep B state championships. Under the new leadership of Chandler Fraser-Pauls, Pennington looks to continue the storied tradition of its basketball program. The program won the 2023-24 Mercer County Tournament with a win over Hopewell!  In 2008, the team won the Mercer County Tournament championship and followed that up in 2009 with a second consecutive MCT title. Basketball at Pennington antedates what we now call “the old gym,” built-in second decade of the twentieth century; today we play our games in Sparks Memorial Gymnasium, one of the finest courts in the area. In the many years of the program, traditions have developed, including participation in holiday tournaments. Recently Pennington has won holiday tournaments including the Solebury Holiday Tournament and Hopewell Holiday/Molinelli Classic Tournament.  Teams have won back to back to back Prep B State Championships in 2013, 2014, and 2015 defeating PDS, MKA, and Morristown Beard.  Most recently the program made the jump up from NJISAA B classification to A. In the past four seasons Pennington has sent players to play at the college level at schools such as Babson College, Elizabethtown College, Keiser University, Millersville University, Monmouth University, Post University, and The College of New Jersey, among others.
