The Baltimore City College boys' basketball team, known as the "Black Knights", or formerly, the "Castlemen", and "Alamedans", is the high school basketball team of Baltimore City College, popularly referred to as "City College", or simply "City". The school's athletic teams were primarily referred to as the "Collegians" prior to 1953, a moniker that is still used alternatively today. One of the earliest results recorded in program history is a one-point overtime road loss to the University of Maryland Terrapins on January 25, 1913.[1][2] With a recorded history spanning more than 110 years, the program is one of the oldest high school basketball teams in the United States. From 1919 to 1992, the team competed as members of the Maryland Scholastic Association (MSA). During this period the team won thirteen MSA conference championships (1922, 1923, 1934, 1935, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1961, 1963, 1966, 1967, 1969, and 1970).[3]
