Ernie Wilson, the Playoff Preview, and Scholarships
Ernie Wilson was an official and officer for the CBOA for many years. He was instrumental in the organization and growth of the chapter. Ernie suffered a heart attack and passed away while officiting a game in 2003. In his name, the CBOA began a memorial scholarship fund. This fund has been utilized to award local student-athletes higher-education scholarships for several years. Typically, the CBOA awards two scholarships per year - one for a male student-athlete and one for a female student-athlete.
