Hoop Highlights
The 1990-91 Christian Brothers
Academy Varsity Boys' Basketball
team can really be divided into two
seemingly different seasons. Surviv­
ing the first six games of the team's
new campaign, the Brothers went a
disappointing one and six, marked by
close losses to Metro rival Corcoran,
and a disheartening overtime defeat
to Cortland.
However, with the return of 1989-
90 All-Upstate Player Guard Brian
Satalin, the CBA hoopsters resur­
rected themselves. In the next six
games, the Brothers went five and
one, highlighted by a Christmas
Tournament win over state ranked
Westhill High School. This dramatic
turnabout poised the Brothers for a
berth in the Section Three Class C
Tournament.
The word that could be used to
describe the 1990-91 team is deter­
mination. Coach Buddy WIeklinski
instilled a work ethic which could be
seen in the team's practices, which
were often as intense as the games.
The 1990-91 Varsity Basketball
team reinstituted the feeling of the
tradition of excellence most often as­
sociated with CBA sports.
