HIGH 19 - SOUTH BOSTON O In the first post-season game in Boston, the Maroon and Gold whipped South Boston to become the City Champions. Paul Toland was once again the '4Big Stari' by scoring twice against a great South Boston defense. His first score came on a twenty-one yard pass from field general Burnes. The half ended with B.C. High leading 7-0. Tolandis second score came when he recov- ered a Southie fumble in the end zone. It seemed that Southie was so desperate that they would try anything, but this play hackfired. Jack Wayland scored the final six points on a line buck. South Boston only crossed the mid-field stripe twice all afternoon against an out- standing Eaglet defense, spearheaded by Jim Cotter.

HC. HIGH 4-OYTIQCHNICAI, 36 Having lost every member of last year's starting five, Coach lVlcCoy faced the perplexing problem of rebuild- ing another starting quintet as the 1054 basketball sea- son began with the lfaglets opposing a fairly strong Technical team. Through the undying eflorts of Frank Simon with ten points and ,lack Mahoney with nine. B. C. High emerged victorious in their starting assign- ment of the 1954 campaign by the score of 40-36. B.C. HIGH 74 - TRADE 60 Keeping in stride with their previous victory. li. C. High literally hurried up the court as they swamped a weak Trade quintet. T4-60. John Horrigan. who scored twenty-nine points, was the main cog in the Maroon and Gold scoring machine. Also hitting in double figures were Joe Hughes. who pumped in fifteen points. and Bob Hanrahan who hooped thirteen. B.C. HIGH 42 - ENGLISH 72 B. C. High sufiered the sting of defeat for the first time in the still-young season as last yearis champions, English. literally scored at will in defeating the Eaglets. 42-72. The way English dominated the playing court is well shown in these figures: they scored twenty-eight times from the floor as compared to eight times for the Maroon and Gold. The only bright spot in a dismal day for the Eaglets was john Horriganis fourteen points. B.G. HIGH 45 - DORCHESTER 60 Dorchesteris well-rounded attack was too much for the Ifaglets as they suffered their second straight set- back. 45-60. The all-around balance of the Dorchester team which saw four of the Red and Black hitting for double figures was actually the key to their victory. John Horrigan again led the Maroon and Gold in scor- ing with eleven points but he received some competition from Frank Simon and ,lack Furey who each netted ten points. if .Z . Capt.
