A Season of Rebuilding Young Team Fights Hard Led by seniors Rich Schwarz, Jim McCormack, Tom Koelbel, and Paul Guardiola, the Berner Basketball Team experienced a rebuilding season. Although they finished in last place, the Bisons lost by very small margins in most of their games. Berner showed its strong points were perimeter shooting and defense. Sophomores Ciro Ambrosio, Dennis Cutts, and Tim Buckley contributed greatly to the team. East Meadow was defeated twice during the season, as Berner ended with a 2-9 record. Captains Rich Schwarz and Jim McCormack and the other seniors are graduating, but next season looks hopeful with three starters returning. Far Right: Rich Schwarz going in for a rebound.
