PSAL mourns the loss of one of our beloved leaders, Donald J. Douglas. A pillar of the PSAL, we appreciate the years of service he gave to NYC. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the entire PSAL/DOE community.
The PSAL Family mourns the loss of legendary John F. Kennedy boys basketball coach Johnny Mathis. In his 35 years on the bench leading JFK, Mathis led the Knights to a pair of PSAL City Championships, while also helping mentor many young men during his years at the helm.
