Lafayette senior guard Ryan Agedal shoots a technical free throw in the second half of Saturday’s Zebra Classic Throwback Contest vs. Fabius-Pompey. Lafayette won 59-49.
Four teams wore the throwback jerseys for two of the five contests for last night’s 30th Zebra Classic, which was held at Onondaga Community College. For the fourth game, Lafayette represented St. Lucy’s and Fabius-Pompey represented St. John The Evangelist from the old Syracuse Parochial League. We heard the players get to keep the old school jerseys. The Tournament was sponsored by Pathfinder Bank.

Syracuse’s Carrier Dome
About a decade ago there was a big push to prepare the city (more hotel rooms) and the Dome (better press box) to host a NCAA final four. Now we have more hotels rooms, but is the Dome is ready? In the past few years, there has been another public discussion to either repair the Dome or build a new multi-sports facility.
Our question is this…as various teams and conferences around the country play college football bowl games in the next few days, when will Syracuse host a bowl contest? We’d love to see an annual bowl game featuring HBCUs (and their dazzling bands), mid-majors or even smaller colleges.
Syracuse provides world-class shopping. There is free bus service from most hotels in the city to the steps of the Dome, and in the past few years we’ve even had great weather in late December.
This would be a great precursor to a Final Four award from the NCAA. Bring on the Wegmans Bowl.
What’s the hold up?

CBA swingman Charles Pride is an expert at slashing to the hoop. He had 16 points last night in a win against Jameville-Dewitt.
Christian Brother’s Academy will play host to Westhill tonight in the final of the Bottar Leone Holiday Classic tonight.
Ryan Roland of Westhill will look to fill it up from the three point line against CBA tonight. Roland scored 20 points, viagra including three 3’s, to help his team down Henninger last night.

Lutz from way downtown in the third quarter.
Christian Brothers Academy came up with two wins at the Peppino’s Invitational. They defeated Liverpool last night 60-56 on the strength of Charles Pride’s double double (15 and 10) and Mark Lutz’s 23, including two key three pointers in the second half. We look forward to the CBA Bishop Ludden match up (aka the city’s Holy War) on January 16.
Charles Pride took flight in the third quarter.
The sharp shooter
After a sluggish first quarter in the game versus Liverpool, CBA (and their motion offense) looked to be in mid-season form.

During his visit to Syracuse last week Dominic Waza Scicluna, coach of Detroit Waza Flo, put on a great half time show of soccer skills. We heard he has an album coming out at the end of the week. Next time maybe he’ll do a pre-game concert.
