197 6 MJ HSL CHAMPIONS 0n a cold March day in 1962, a team known as the Flatbush Falcons won the MJHSL aa A Championship. Since that day, many an opti- mistic Falcon team has choked its way to infamy. This year, the 75-76 Falcons were out to change their image and bring a champion ship to Flatbush. Despite much pre-season pessimism, Fal- con self-confidence was never lacking. The Falcons broke the school scoring record, held all kinds of defensive records, and beat arch- rival HlLl twice en route to a ten game win- ning streak. The regular season climaxed with the Summit Game, where in front of 800 people, the Falcons clinched the Division Championship ltheir first in more than 15 years? by beating BTA. With a best-ever 14-2 record, the power- house Falcons had established themselves as SCGREBOARD BTA 56-47 CWinJ FRISCH 81-42 CWinD MTA 58-66 iLossl HILLEL 99-35 CWinl YHSQ 67-42 lWinD HANC 88-14 iWinl RJJ 55-54 lWinD RAMAZ 63-39 lWinl HILI 59-39 CWinJ BTA 60-48 CWinl HILLEL 62-30 CWinJ JEC 56-47 CWinJ HILI 50-43 CWinJ YHSQ 46-63 iLossl HANC 108-24 CWinJ BTA 52-40 CWinJ ROGOSIN 61-40 CWinl SACKIN TOURNAMENT RJJ 54-39 iWinl BTA 56-48 CWinD PLAYOFFS RJJ 50-48 CWinl HILI 51-41 CWinJ YHSQ 56-43 fWinl LEAGUE CHAMPIONS THE team to beat in the playoffs. Our dreams of the title were almost shattered however, in the first round against RJJ. Flatbush deter- mination however, would not allow the 9 point RJJ lead destroy our aspirations. With tre- mendous clutch shooting, the Falcons moved past the Raiders and defeated them in double overtime. In the semi-finals against the HILI Hawks, the Falcons defeated the Hawks hand- ily in an all-around fine performance. For the first time in 14 years, the Falcons moved into the Championship Game. ln a total school ef- fort, Flatbush won the MJH SL Championship by beating the YHSQ Cougars 56-43. The 75-76 Falcons were a team that was characterized by unselfishness and teamwork. Only one person is responsible for uniting this group of basketball players into a well-polish- ed unit. Coach lra Greenberg did a superb job with the Falcons and without his guidance and patience, the championship would have been an impossibility. Led by a balanced scoring starting five and a tremendously talented bench, the Falcons were among the leaders in team offense. Defensively, the Falcons ranked 4151 in the league throughout the season and in the playoffs. We would like to thank all of you who helped us fulfill our dreams of the champion- ship. Without your support, winning would been impossible. The Flatbush fans are truly 4261 and have been made 1976 THE YEAR 0F THE FALCON!!!
