Last year, Matawan again resumed track, after the war years, and had a very successtul season, There was a large turnout, and, under the able coaching of Coach Nuccio, the boys had a swell season, although they had no previous experi- ence. This baseball squad pictured above was one of the most successful Matawan has had in recent years. During the past season these boys compiled an admirable record of ten wins against four losses. This record enabled Mata- wan to win the Group One Central Jersey Championship. The squad also had a favorable stonding of third place in Shore Conference Competition.
