Varsity Basketball The Red Raiders opened the season by losing a hard fought game to a tall New Brunswick quintet 57-43. It was New Brunswick's 7th game of the year opposed to our first. The Raiders snapped back with an impressive win over a distinguished Alumni five. Among the returning greats were Torpedo Hogan, Tom Todd, and Don Pugliese. Behind 34-Z5 at the half, the varsity rallied and came on to win 69-65. The next game was the first of many heartbreaks. We traveled to St. Bene- dicts only to lose 55-51 despite 36 points tossed in by the 6'-5 center, Bob Ed- wards. Against Law r enc eville, on their home court, the team never got to working smoothly and lost 55-45. The Pennington passers snapped back to the winning side of the ledger by staving off a late B.M.l. rally and winning 58-48. High scoring Edwards again led the way with 33 points. The game with Peddie proved to be another one of those games where everything goes wrong. The final score was 59-43. The next two games proved to be the most exciting the Red Raiders played this year. The first of the two games was played at Perkiomen. It was a hard- fought affair with Coach's charges coming out on the short end of a 66-65 score. The boys returned home to play a highly favored Admiral Farragut squad. The experts were proved wrong as the home forces played their best game of the year, winning 59-58. The Red Menhit the road again, travelling to Croyden Hall. Our squad jump- ed toa3Z-14 half-time and coasted home with an easy 65-39 victory. The team then returned home to play B.M.I. again, and the game proved to be a wel1-mer- ited team triumph. Three men, Bob Edwards, Jack Kesting, and Bob Poore hit double figures. The final score was 65-45. The Raiders journeyed to play a revengeful Farragut five for the next game. The strange court and the inability to get rolling proved too much, and the final score was 72-47 with Pennington on the short end. Again on the road, the Red and Black net men snapped back after tr ailing by six points at the half to beat Valley Forge by the score of 70-51. Bob Edwards, held to nine points in the first half, got hot and finished the game with 39 points to lead the team to an impressive victory. Jack Mc- M ar rahe r and Frank Nikles also did an excellent job of pressing the Valley Forge guards, and setting up many crucial points. Before a Parent's Day crowd, the home charges rolled up 45 points in the first quarter, and coasted to a 79-50 victory over Croyden Hall. The next game proved to be the biggest heartbreaker of the season. Trailing Blair Academy 40-18 at the end of the ha1f,the Red Raiders put onaterrific rally only to lose 66-63. In the last game of the regular season, Pennington played host to a greatly improved St. Benedicts team, and lost 67-53. In the Headmaster's Tournament,the Red Men Played some of the best ball of the season, only to lose to a strong Rutger's Prep five 79-77. Bob Edwards led the scoring with 46 points. Edwards was also selected to the first team of the All-County High, Prep Team with a mark of 26.7 points per game average. The team's 7-8 record, although not the most creditable, was not bad con- sidering the lack of good outside shooters, and the inexperience of many of the boys. Hats off to Coach Poore for turning out one of Pennington'sscrapiest clubs, no matter what the odds, they never gave up. 67
