Those looking for some quality hoops to watch in South Jersey this weekend won’t have to travel far. 

The MADE Hoops Northeast Preview takes over Total Turf in Pitman (N.J.) on Saturday and Sunday, with a ton of high-level programs coming to play across five courts as the 2024-25 season inches closer and closer.

The field has a strong contingent of squads from New Jersey, with a good bit of Pennsylvania and New York participation along with a few others from Maryland, Delaware and Washington, D.C. Some of the Philadelphia teams include Roman Catholic, Imhotep Charter, Father Judge, Penn Charter, St. Joe’s Prep, Coatesville and more. 

Games will run from 9:10 AM through around 9:00 PM on Saturday, and 9:00 AM through 5:00 PM on Sunday. Here’s the updated schedule as of Wednesday, October 9:
