ALTHOUGH THE 1948 BASKETBALL SEASON could hardly be termed more than mediocre, Coach Tom Crist's dribblers fre- quently showcd signs oi' being a championship quintet! The boys caught fire at the end of the season capturing four straight decisions to finish thc season with a six-eight record. The victory over Haddon Heights by a wide margin was the boys, best showing. The 51-39 conquest ol' Ocean City was the first time in nineteen years that a Middle five had downed the Red and VVhite! Tony Chapparone was the sparkplug of the quintet garnering an even two-hundred points over the season, almost half of Middle's point production. 53 SCORING RECORDS HAMMONTON WOODSTOWN HADDON HEIGHTS WILDWOOD OCEAN CITY HADDON HEIGHTS CAPE MAY SALEM BRIDGETON WILDWOOD PLEASANTVILLE OCEAN CITY SALEM CAPE MAY

These boys are all expectant Varsity players for next year and the experience gained through the past season will help them check in with victories for Middle.
