Baltimore City College Basketball

The Baltimore City College basketball team, known as the "Knights", or formerly, the "Collegians", "Castlemen", and "Alamedans", has represented Baltimore City College, the city of Baltimore's flagship public college preparatory school, for more than 100 years. One of the earliest recorded results in program history is a one-point overtime road loss to the University of Maryland Terrapins (then known as the Maryland Agricultural College Aggies) on January 25, 1913. In 1919, the school was invited to join the Maryland Scholastic Association (MSA) as a founding member and won MSA A-Conference championships in 1922, 1923, 1934, 1935, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1961, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1967, and 1969.

City College joined its current athletic association, the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association (MPSSAA), in 1993. City has won three MPSSAA state championships (2009, 2010, 2014) and is one of just five programs in Maryland that have won three or more boys basketball state titles since 2000. The Knights have nine straight MPSSAA regional semifinal (round of 16) appearances since 2008. Baltimore City College has finished the season as the No. 1-ranked team in the Baltimore Sun metro boys basketball poll and ranked among the top-20 nationally in the USA Today Super 25 boys basketball poll twice since 2010. B.C.C. ranked third among all Baltimore-area high schools -- public, private, and parochial -- with five former players on NCAA Division I rosters during the 2013-2014 seasons. The program boasts eight First Team All-Metro players since 2007, second most among all Baltimore-area high schools in 2014. Three City College boys basketball teams have completed undefeated seasons: 1966, 1967, and 2014.

Daryl Wade, son of former Dunbar High School and University of Maryland head coach Bob Wade, is the current City College boys basketball coach. Wade was named head coach in 1995 and again in 2011 when he replaced then-coach Mike Daniel. Coach Wade, who has averaged 21 wins per season in his second stint at City, has guided the Knights to four MPSSAA state tournament semifinal appearances (1997, 1998, 1999, 2014) and the 2014 MPSSAA 3A state championship. Daryl Wade was named Baltimore Sun All-Metro Coach of the Year in 2014.
