ETCHING HIS NAME INTO HISTORY 🙌

Paul Kenny is the first TWO-TIME STATE CHAMPION in CBA history! The junior takes the 126-pound weight class with a pin of Delbarton’s Tommy Marchetti.

Along with his 2025 title at 120 pounds, Kenny cements his place as one of the greats not only in CBA history, but also in all of New Jersey.

Congratulations, Paul!

HISTORY at the Penn Relays for @cbatrack!

CBA’s second consecutive Championship of America victory in the Distance Medley Relay is truly one for the record books ⤵️

➡️ Ryan Schmitt, Ethan Fianko, Wyatt Falkowski and Joe Barrett capture the FIFTH DMR Penn Relays wheel in CBA history — 40 years after the first win in 1985.

➡️ CBA becomes the FIRST-EVER New Jersey school to win the DMR at the Penn Relays two years in a row.

➡️ CBA is the first U.S. high school in SEVENTY-THREE YEARS to win the DMR title in back-to-back Penn Relays.

➡️ The 2025 foursome’s sub-10 minute performance of 9:59.17 is good for ninth all-time in state history and the best-ever for a Shore Conference school — breaking CBA’s own record.

➡️ Barrett and Fianko become the first runners in CBA Track history to win TWO Penn Relays wheels in their high school careers.

Congratulations to Ryan, Ethan, Wyatt and Joe on this incredible accomplishment!

THANK YOU, Coach Billet!

After 18 seasons at the helm, Geoff Billet is finishing his tenure as head coach of the Christian Brothers Academy basketball program.

The 1995 CBA graduate led his alma mater to two state sectional titles, two Shore Conference Championships, and several divisional titles during his time as head coach. Overall, Billet won more than 300 games with CBA, who continued to be a mainstay at the top of the Shore Conference.

“These 18 years would not have been possible without the hard work of our student-athletes, partnership with terrific assistant coaches, and the support of our parents and fans,” Billet said. “It has been an honor to serve as head basketball coach at the Academy and I will forever be thankful for the memories we made together.”

CBA will commence a search for its next head basketball coach later this month and information will be available on https://t.co/eRTD3F32ut.
