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.
