Bishop Ludden Re-established Scholastic Wrestling Program Just a few years ago, scholastic wrestling seemed to be on the wane, especially in Central New York. Once the mighty Onondaga League had boasted the strongest, most competitive wrestling programs in New York State, but the scepter had passed to the south and onto Long Island. Locally, enthusiasm for the sport was relegated to the fringes of Central New York, such as Oswego County and the North Country. But in the last two years, the sport has enjoyed a kind of renaissance. Like football, the numbers and the skill level have improved and its rejuvenated popularity is evident particularly at the Pee Wee level.

Holy Wars
The rivalry between Syracuse Catholic schools Christian Brothers Academy and Bishop Ludden must numbered among the more celebrated rivalries in Central New York scholastic athletics
This season’s first installment of the annual rivalry will be Friday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. in the Brothers’ gym. The second will be Jan. 6 in the Gaelic Knights’ gym.
The series began in an odd fashion. Bishop Ludden had recently built its new gym and the inaugural basketball game featured the presence of Bishop Walter Foery on Nov. 22, 1963, the same day President John F. Kennedy, the nation’s first Catholic president, was assassinated. While the United States shuddered and mourned, Bishop Ludden and CBA set about playing basketball.
