Basketball Fans Boost Team to State Tournament Boys’ Basketball began to gain a larger following this winter and the Varsity Squad responded well to the increased fan support with a record of thirteen wins and eight losses. The season started out unevenly as the Rocketeers coula not put together two victories in a row. Five games into the schedule, the team ran off four consecutive wins, including a brilliant 69-57 victory over Oliver Ames and a one point 54-53 triumph against Stoughton. After this close win, though, N.A. reverted to the early season problem of not being able to put wins together. A loss to Mansfield, a win over King Philip, a loss to Sharon, a win over Foxboro — the Rocketeer team only managed to play .5(X) over this important period of eight league games. The group ended its schedule strongly, however, as three victories were achieved in the last four games along with a berth in the state tournament. In the first round of the tournament, all the excitement came to an end as North lost a hard-fought game to Middleboro by a sc ore of 69- 68. After the season was over, Joe Fitzgibbons received All-Hocko- mock honors and Don Johnson was named to the AW- Sun-Chronicle team in recognition of their performances throughout the year. 26
