Basketball This season, which was not a year for the record book, nevertheless proved successful as Pat Russo became the new mentor at Bayley-Ellard. Though the team compiled a four win-fourteen loss record, it developed in experience and confidence as the season progressed. As the season began, we played St. Paul Kluchnirlf shams as Hill Tyler and ,lim Ahern look on. Larry Allocco drives in for another lay-up. , fun' ,lohn's Paterson. Despite a large send-off by the student body, the team fell short and lost a heartbreaking game 52-66. After losing to a strong five from Uur Lady of the Valley, we entered the tournament in Paterson and lost a tense game to St. Bonaventure's 56-61 in the closing minutes. The Christmas holidays didn't prove a complete failure as the Bishops downed a strong Alumni, 74-62. Our next victory was against Netcong in their home court where Don Terreri, co-captain, set a record for the gym with 32 points as we won 65-59. After losing several tense games, the season wound up in great style with double wins. On February 22, in a tra- ditionally action packed game, the Bishops achieved an exciting victory over Mountain Lakes 62-60 in a game which was nerve-wracking down to the final buzzer. In the closing game of the season, the Bishops overwhelmed St. Bonaventure's to avenge two earlier de- feats by the score of 88-67. It was in this game that Don Terreri proved his ability by scoring 53 points and winding up a star-studded year as one of the top scorers in the county. Although the team will miss the play- making of co-captain Larry Allocco, the split second accuracy of Don Terreri, and the steadiness of Bill Tyler, never- theless we have talent developing in Jim Ahern, Frank Dooling, and Shrimp,' Giordano all of whom will be starters next year along with Mike Kopas and Bob Kelly. The .lV's compiled a 4-10 record and showed promise with such talent as Louis Trombaco, Don Emilian and Jack Kopas. Co-captains Don Terreri and Larry Al- locco check on rules before game. 68
