The team finished with a record of 19-2, second best in the Suburban I League, and third in the Delaware Valley. The only two losses came to the tough Norristown team. The Colonials blasted the remainder of their opposition and were certainly frustrated in their excellence for they werentt able to reach the Palestra for that shot at the State Championship. The dynamic trio of Greg Delong, Gary Mitchell, and Rick Clewell, all of whom started on the varsity squad as sophomores, did a tre- mendous job in bringing P-W itts great record. Greg led in rebound- ing, Gary in assists, and Rick in scoring. The other senior starter, Harvey Schutzbank, contributed greatly in scoring, rebounding, and defense. The only junior starter, Tom Mitchell, was a tremendous asset to the team in both shooting and defense. The team passed, dribbled, shot, played defense, and rebounded extremely well. It was definitely one of the most well-balanced teams in the state and in the history of P-W basketball.

Something new came to the girls, basketball team this 1970-71 season, the five-player game. This was the first year that the girls used boysi rules, and they made the adjustment beautifully. The Varsity finished the season with a successful record of seven wins and two losses, while the Junior Varsity posted a season record of five wins and four loss- es. The team lost two heart-breaking games against Springfield and Upper Merion by a total of four points. This put the Colonials in a four-way tie for first place in the league. The girls were coached by Miss Patri- cia West and Mrs. Linda Smith and were Co-Captained by seniors Nancy McCorristin and Sharon Olszewski. Other seniors on the team were, Bar- bara Rensimer, Kris Smith, Joann Gil- lespie and Marnie Hoffman . This years most valuable player is Nancy McCorristin, who was the most outstanding girl on both offense and defense. wv Girls, Basketba Varsity, FIRST ROW: B. Rensimer, N. McConistin, S.
