BALTIMORE, Md. – The Baltimore City Community College men's and women's basketball teams open the 2010-11 season this week. The men begin play on Friday at 6 p.m. when they take on Genesee Community College in the Community College of Beaver County Tournament in Monaca, Pa.

The men's team has its home opener on Wednesday, November 10, at 7:30 p.m. when they host Montgomery College-Germantown. The women take on Harcum College this Saturday at 2 p.m. for their first home game of the season.
