Basketball Following the graduation of five starters, coach Dan Balicki’s team completed a successful season in a supposed “‘rebuilding”’ year. With outstanding depth, witnessed in many sports this year, the squad was able to perform well enough during the regular season to compile a 14-6 record, sufficient to qualify them for the post-season tournament. During the regular season, the squad participated in the New England Catholic Invitational Tourney. Two key victories were over Tech, and the Berkshire powerhouse Pittsfield. Outstanding players on the squad included Jimmy Connery and John Martin, whose injury caused losses of key games. Only through combined effort was the team able to achieve its high standings. = Basketball Team, front row: Manager Robert (Boomer) Roccanti, Tim Duquette, Mike Guihan, Brad Francke, Tim Noonan, Jim Millette, Bob Burke, Manager Charlie Casartello. back row: Mike Crowley, Andy Fitzgerald, John Maak, Jim Connery, John Martin, Rich Pickrell, Tony Fiaschetti, Coach Dan Baliki

Girls’ Gymnastics An increased interest in girls’ gymnastics was reflected by the fact that approximately 70 girls tried out for the team. Coaches Lynn and Steve Sager made it known at the first meeting that to make the team you would have to have a willi ngness to work. This willingness to work was the most important factor in determining the team’s success. Once the team was chosen, girls began long hours of repeated practice. Each piece of equipment necessitated a different type of exercise. The work was not in vain as four girls qualified to compete in the State Individual’s Meet. Beth Mineo and Lori Trangheses qualified as all-around girls. Chris Greenia qualified for the vault and Lisa Condren qualified for the beam. The whole team participated in the W Mass. Championship on February 22. “These girls were hard-working and they displayed the best team spirit ’ve ever seen.” Lynn Sager front row: Co-Captains Beth Mineo and Mary Conway. second row: Chris Greenia, Cece Smith, Michelle LaMarche, Anita Draghetti. third row: Noreen Szubelek, Pat Noonan, Anne Kennedy, Colleen Shea, Mary Stanton. fourth row: Lynn Sager, Mary Jean Dromey, Ro- seanne Trimboli, Kathryn Ryan, Lori Tranghese, Lisa Condron.
