Bishop Ludden guard Mika Adams-Woods drives for a layup during the third quarter of yesterday’s Zebra Classic matchup with CBA. The teams donned throwback jerseys for the occasion. Adams-Woods finished with a game high 21 points.
Swingman Charles Pride (#5) exited CBA for Liverpool, but he definitely brought his game along. During a much-hyped early season test against Bishop Ludden (Peppino’s Invitational Tournament) he dropped 20 and blocked a few shots. But Pride’s efforts weren’t enough to overcome 22 points by Mika Adams-Woods. Ludden won the game 65-50.

Mika Adams-Woods (#23), aka the one man press-breaker, but on a shooting, dribbling and passing clinic to help hand CBA their first loss of the season.
Last night’s Section III match up between Bishop Ludden and Christian Brothers Academy (CBA) was the perfect crescendo for the Zebra Classic Tournament. It was also a great showcase match sophomore stars Mika Adams-Woods and Charles Pride.
CBA may be the better team (this was their first loss), but after a 37-point, takeover performance, Adams-Woods showed why he may be the regions best talent. His swishing and dishing, his adept ball-handling, and cat-like quickness would have only been more impressive if the superlatives were supplied by Clyde Frazier.
Ludden won 67-58.
CBA will get their chance at revenge when the two teams meet again in February. At that end-of-the-season meeting, the throwback jerseys will be a distant memory.
The Most Holy Rosary section, pulling for Ludden, celebrated an early first quarter run with a mini chest bump.
