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.

Darryl Dawkins aka Chocolate Thunder

We can vividly remember tipping into OnaJava about a decade ago to find Darryl Dawkins, aka Chocolate Thunder, chillin’ at the counter.  He was a big man with a big personality to match, and helped pave the way for Lebron and Shaq.  Dawkins was the first high school player to be drafted to the NBA (1975).

Syracuse Academy of Science (SAS) defeated Institute of Technology Syracuse Central (ITC) last night in a Sectionals match up played at the Lab (Park Street). ITC raced out to a big lead in the first quarter, but SAS, with big-time support from their home crowd, made a furious comeback and pulled away in the third quarter. The final score was 73-59.

By the fourth quarter the game was out of reach and Coach Gokce went down the bench for high fives from his players.
