CBA Colts Recognized at Shore Conference Sportsmanship Banquet

CBA's athletic director is awarded Monmouth County Athletic Director of the Year; Middletown's Michael Oxley won a Shore Conference 2014 Sportsmanship Award.

On June 1, the Shore Conference presented awards to Monmouth County senior student-athletes who were selected as 2014 Sportsmanship Award winners. Wrestler and recent graduate Michael Oxley of Middletown was CBA’s nominee and recipient.

“Sportsmanship means being a humble winner or a gracious loser,” said Michael. “Win or lose, it is a respect for the opponents’ passion, perseverance that transcends the game.”

The two-time regional champion and state place winner will attend Hofstra University this fall.
