BASKETBALL Basketball Front Row: W. Flannery, W. Hayes, R. Connelly, J. McDer1nott, R. Lake, G. Murphy, D. Crook, K. Mul- lin. Second Row: Mr. Has- kell, C. Perry, T. Gallagher, R. Webb, A. Ahearn, G Meeken, D. Stevenson. Finishing second in the Bay State League, the Whiz Kid Coach John M. Haskell hoopsters enjoyed an 11-3 record. After getting away to a slow start by losing two out of their first three games, the team improved stead- ily as the season progressed. The main scoring power of the squad was supplied by the co-captains John McDermott and Bob Lake. johnny worked out of the pivot position, while Bob did most of his shooting from the side. Other senior standouts included Bob Connelly, George Meeken, and Art Ahearn. Throughout the season the team treated their followers to some very exciting games, many of which could not have been won without the Kids, untiring spirit. There were five games that were decided in the last few minutes or seconds. A good example was the second Dedham game, which was won by a basket by Art Ahearn just before the buzzer sounded. Another thrilling game was the second Needham contest, Milton having dropped the first. In this game the Whiz Kids played possession ball to stop the fast-moving Needham quintet, only to be hurt by a. poor third quarter. The two losses to Needham were a big reason why the team didn't gain a post season invitation to the Tech Tourney. Next year should see a fine M.H.S. basketball team on the court because of the gifted and experienced ballplayers returning. 26
