WITH a few veterans as a nucleus Danny Dyer molded a very aggressive and fast basketball team for Greenfield High School, which had a good record of 12 vic- tories and seven defeats. At the beginning of the season the team held its own, and they improved a great deal as the season went on. The highlight of the season was the defeat of the Westfield Bombers on the home court. The all-round play of Tony Sturtevant, Ken Saleski and Len Harris was noted throughout this upset. This was the first time that Greenfield had beaten Westfield in twenty years. One of the most exciting games ever to be witnessed in the Greenfield High Gym was the game with Holyoke. The game went into overtime and was not decided until the final minute when Holyoke scored a basket. Babe Gochinski, Juice Moore, Louie Iorio, and Moe Peters played brilliantly in taking the ball ofi' the back-boards and setting up plays. The feats of the second team show that Greenfield should and will have winning ball teams in the future. 110 Dec. Jan. Feb.
