Vwtsftg Basketball ROW 1: R. Smith, D. Aquino, D. Johnson, J. Zurlo, J. Berry ROW 2: L. Moses, mgr., G. Burchell, N. Abraham, D. Frodin, R. Casseri, G. Payne, mgr., Mr. Swift ' The Tigers, coached by Van Swift, came up with the best basketball team at Akron in at least 23 years as they compiled a Niagara-Orleans League record of 10 wins and 6 losses which was good enough for a third place finish. This enabled the Tigers to compete in the Section VI Class B Sectionals which were played after the yearbook went to press. After a poor start, in which they lost in overtime to Wilson and were soundly beaten by Roy-Hart, the Tigers hit the victory trail, winning their next three. Junior forward jim Berry showed Akron fans things to come as he came through with a school record of 32 points in the loss to Wilson. The Tigers went on to win six out of their final seven games, with the biggest win over Roy- Hart. In this game the Tigers came on to win after trailing by sixteen points in the third period. Akron's leading scorer was jim Berry, who compiled a 17.5 point average which was the second best in the league. Behind him was joe Zurlo. The major share of the rebounding was done by Dick Casseri and Nick Abraham. The outlook for next year is very good as only four seniors, Dick Casseri, Dave Aquino, Bob Smith, and Dan Frodin, will be graduating. The junior Varsity, which compiled a 9-7 record, has many bright prospects to add to the talents of the remaining juniors.
