Last year's team which achieved the honor of having the best defensive record in the league, was surpassed this year by having the best defensive record in the county. Ron Manning broke the previous single high scoring record by Leon Robinson of 33 points by scoring 35 points in one game. Longwood was rated as second in the top teams of Suffolk and finished high on many high school basketball ratings. With the establishment of the Henry J.
