They had a relatively successful season finishing in third place in the K..C.Y.O., Sasketball League with 3 wins and 2 losses. Their final and supposedly best game of the season was the win over Naz Hall junior class. The men with the finest showing Were 6'4 Tom Blees, who had a 10 point game average, and Dave Gauthier with a 9 point average. Steve Watters had a fine 6 point average and lived up to expectations OH defense. Jim Charlebois and Paul Severson rounded out the starting five with 6'8 Bob Rosier and Mike Heaton giving fine relief support. Their coach, Fr. Roedel, deserves a lot of credit for the fine job he did with these boys. jim Charl eboi s Nlaz Hall s first Junior team: fkneelingb S. Watters, D. Flaherty, I.Sewald, D.

ports Basketball Team Missed it by that much! That's the story of this year's basketball team. In the Boy's Club Tournament we blew a fifteen point lead in the last quarter of the final round and even- tually lost by two in overtime. We won the division title the hard way by winning a two game playoff but then lost by six in the semi- finals of the City Championship. It was the same story at the Annunciation Tournament this year, losing to St. Charles by one in the semi's and eventually taking third place by beating Visitation by two in a real crowd pleaser. Captain Dan Westmoreland played almost every minute of every game and led the Highwaymen to the best season we have ever had.

The record might have been even better if it hadn't been for the poor 'hockey weather'of the past year.When the team should have been out practicing, the conditions of the rink were such that a swimming meet would have been more fitting. Even so, the spirit of the team remained high and this spirit lasted through the entire year. The team, under the coaching of Fr. Forliti , was led by the co-captains Ron Baregi and Griff Wigley, who teamed up with Tom Quilan to complete the first line. The other two lines also played well, even though the players were often being shifted to new positions. They gave the first line a rest and checked the opposition. Another reason for the team's fine showing is the exceptional goaltending of Pat Lynch and Rich Bipes. Every game this year, even those we lost, was a team effort, a credit to the coaching and to the players themselves. Randy L,Allier Standing: Coach Forliti, J. Wozniak, I. Gryskiewicz, P. Shields, J.
