CHS Panthers become league power In his first year as head coach Mr. David Creighton led the Panthers to their most successful season in the past few years. The gridmen proved to be a powerhouse in the AA division by holding first place until the last game, in which they were edged out of a Western Mass Championship by the current Western Mass champion, the Westfield Bombers. Team spirit was high throughout the whole year, led by tri-captains Bill Dunlea, Tim Cecchetelli, and Tom Dobiecki. Tom was honored with the Ted Plumb award for the best football player in the city. Other awards given to the players were the Coaches Awards: Tim Cecchetelli was named Team Player, not only for his outstanding running ability, but for his unselfish blocking. Mike Imelio, who withstood the pains of being a lineman without complaint, became Most Valuable Lineman. Ken Garvey for his improved play received the Most Improved Player award. Bill Dunlea was Most Valuable Player for his obvious contributions to the team in all aspects. 66
