Basketball Coach’s Comment Hovering Helmut hunts hoop. Pina jumps for Falmouth advantage. Coach Robert Watson’s Clip- pers enjoyed another outstanding season despite being edged out of the league title by the Coyle- Cassidy Warriors. The Clippers surprised a lot of basketball enthusiasts by advanc- ing to the South Sectional final of the State Tournament. Falmouth’s overall record stood at 18-5 when they were beaten by talented Boston Latin at Brockton High School. A season highlight was capturing the prestigious Brockton Christmas Tournament by beating Oliver Ames and Providence Central. Bob Wilson and Todd Quarles were named to the SMC III Cape All-star team while Roger Mrusek was named to the All-Cape second team. Doug Comolli and Helmut Bryant received All-Cape Honorable Mention. Quarles was the only player from the Southeastern Massachusetts Conference to make the South Sectional All-star team. The final honor was the naming of Coach Watson as Coach of the Year for Falmouth’s outstanding perfor- mance during the State Tourna- ment. The 1978- 1979 basket- ball season leaves this coach with mixed emo- tions. On one hand he is happy with the out- standing accomplishments of his team. On the other hand he is saddened to see players he has coached for four years graduate. During the past four years the dedication of seniors Butch Barrows, Doug Comolli, Mark De Souza, David Martin, Roger Mrusek, Todd Q uarles, and Bob Wilson has been the single most important factor in the team’s great success. This team has succeeded beyond all ex- pectations. The great wins and honors gave this coach thrills of which most coaches only dream. But it is not the wins and losses that mean so much, it is and will be the personal relationship that developed between the coach and his players.

Winter Track Coach’s Comment The 1978-79 winter track season marked the return of Falmouth as a legitimate league contender with both talent and depth. The boys are young but willing to run anyone, anywhere. We made some mistakes early in the season that cost us three big meets (losing by a total of 10 points.) But, we are looking forward to next winter with high hopes and tremendous enthusiasm. i 1 it i . )4 V: Knispel waits for gun.
