B Derclx Coach Hamilton The Genesee Community College Cougars had an outstanding record in their second year of basketball, completing a splendid 17-5 season under coach Mahlon Hamilton. Their schedule of many community colleges and four-year freshman teams was a formidable one. Although personnel changed somewhat after the first semester, the main-stays of the team remained. Three first-year men: Bob Derek. Dave Dickman, and George Shaver coupled with returning captain Gary Nichols and Charles Cummings carried most of the burden throughout the season. They were assisted by Joe Grzybowski, Dave Spinnegan, John DeBaun and Wil Burdick which made up the squad. John Cianfrini was the manager.
