Crosstown Classic: CBA 50, Nottingham 44

December 4, 2008 - My final project took me to Nottingham High School for high school basketball.  Christian Brothers Academy made the long, four minute (without traffic) trip to the 'Ham for a non-conference boys basketball battle.  There's no atmosphere quite like high school basketball, especially when you have a 6-6 center (who happens to be an offensive lineman on the football team) on one side and athletic guards on the other.  The game itself was close for a while, but CBA too over in the second half with two solid post performances by that center, Michael Goodman and the new guy, Greg Thompson.  

Below is is the post game LIVE wrap from the school with highlights and an exclusive interview with 24th-year CBA Head Coach Buddy Wleklinski.  An interesting note about Coach Wleklinski (real name, John): in Jim Boeheim fashion, CBA dedicated its home court to the current basketball head coach and Athletic Director before the second home game of the year, last Friday.
