The Varsity Basketball Team, coached by Mr. Prestinario, had a very competitive season, racking up a record of 12-13. The team worked hard and put forth great ef- fort in both practice and games. The team played well on and off throughout the season. One of the highlights of the season was an exciting victory over Weber, who, at the time, was the number one team in the Catholic League. Also, the team prov- ed several times throughout the season that they were no one to be looked down upon. Some examples of this were when they came close to defeating the top team in the Catholic League, DeLaSalle, and the top rated team in the nation, St. J oseph, of Westchester. The team looks forward to a good 1983- 1984 season, with many of the Juniors returning to the Varsity squad. Top left: The Varsity Basketball Team. fBack Rowj Coach Kruszka, M. McVady, D. Stack, B.
