Playing a schedule which had been stepped up to a faster class of competition, our boys scored enough points to win fifteen of our eighteen games. In the county championships we drew Rahway for our iirst game. It was a thrilling, fast-moving, rip-roarin' game, which went into an overtime period. Finally a Rahway man threw up one of those long, phenomenal shots to win, accord- ing to the A'Sudden Death rule. Our team was invited to take part i11 the State Tournament. Although playing the greatest basketball that they have ever played in their two-year history, the team was defeated 139-31D by Rutherford. Our Iay Vees and Mr. Holm deserve laurels for their record of eighteen straight victories. Our freshman team, coached by f'Red Cree, is a capable bunch of youngsters. They made an enviable record in their Hrst year together. We are proud of the achievements and the reputation which our basketball teams have won. We expect to remain in the front ranks in future years. RICHARD SACHSEL V V ll .bf M' f J U tif, .f 'l C .,1fV pg., Nb- Q! f' gm T' I as 9 K fl LJ Y A , -ez-1' :f A I X xlll. NIE

The team faced not only strong rivals, but also that unsportsmanlike opponent, illness. This hidden opponent forced the team to finish the season with barely enough men left to wrestle in all ten weight classes. Nor did it discriminate in its choice of victims, striking down our able coach, Mr. Battaglia, when we could ill afford to lose his help. He bounced right back, however, in time to lead his team to victory and then to Gibson's. The grapplcrs opened their season in full stride taking Bound Brook into camp with seven boys earning pins They next dropped a hard-fought match to the more powerful and more experienced Union team. Then traveling to Newton, a school highly regarded in state championship circles, the boys were vanquished only after battling tooth and nail for each point. Next the team went up to North Plainfield to eke out a victory in a bitterly contested match. To Roselle Park and Somerville they lost matches which are better forgotten than remembered. Then going to Iefferson on the short end of a 2 and 4 record, the grunt and groan men, in a thrilling match, overcame the confident Iefferson men in a surprise victory. In the last match the Regionalites niet Lodi and polished them off to finish the season with a .goo average. Entering the county and state championships, the team did remarkably well for a second year team. Iacques Coletta, our senior gg pounder, set a record in winning the county championship by a pin in zo seconds. Later he went on to take second place in the state's Q5 pound championships. In closing, we bow to our gallant captain Les Galloway, to his hard-working, quick-thinking teammates and to our swell coach, Mr. Battaglia. RICHARD SACIISEL '72
