For the first game of the Syracuse University Orangemen 2020 campaign, our player to watch will be opposing sophomore guard Charles Pride, who grew up in Syracuse, playing for CBA and later Liverpool High School. Pride scored in double figures in 12 times as a freshman, including a season-high 25 points against Drexel. Another local star Luke Sutherland, a West Genesee grad, is also on the Bulldog squad.

20 years ago John Wallace led Syracuse University on a great Final Four run.
Todd modeled the “Prayers for Pearl” shirt on Saturday afternoon.
We wanted to show some love to Dave Jacobs (former SU kicker and owner of Shirt World) for talking with us about the “Prayers for Pearl” t-shirt that he conceived along with Brandon Steiner.
Today 1000 shirts were given away (courtesy of SideArm Sports) for the SU game against Georgia Tech in the Carrier Dome.
Steiner has undertaken a gofundme project to help with Pearl Washington’s healthcare costs.
Proceeds from the t-shirt sales will go to benefit Pearl’s medical expenses as well.
