Coached by Brother Feerick, the team proved its great ability by winning the Freshman city- wide Catholic School League Tournament. The team's record was 25 wins and 3 defeats. The starting iive consisted of jim Lawlor, Frank Natale, Ed Burns, Tom Brennan and R. jen- nings. jim Lawlor possessed an exceptionally good shooting eye and was good on defensive plays. Frank Natale was a consistently good play-maker and passer while Ed Burns' greatest asset to the team was his excellent rebounding. Jennings and Brennan were both good shooters. The team was rounded off by Matassa, Moody, and Perno. Lawlor averaged seventeen points per game and Brennan, along with Ed Burns, averaged eight points.fThe team is expected to go on to greater heights in the next season. 116 HUSTLE 8. DRIVE MAKE CHAMPS This year Power had an extremely capable I. V. that finished the season with the title of Manhat- tan Champsf' In the Manhattan division they terminated the year with a 10-1 league record. The only teams to defeat them were Trinity and St. Annis. Dennis Coe and John Cleary were in the back court most of the time and both scored frequently and made many assists. Richie Meadows was the best rebounder and when he was hurt in january, Phil Restaino filled the job very well. Bob Woop added weight and hustle to the rebounding and pro- vided an added scoring touch. Dennis McCarthy was the best shot and passer on the team. Jim Cleary was the all-utility man, playing back court or the corner with equal ability. The J. V. won its championship with hustle, speed and the knowledge that the only way to win is by playing together. This outlook brought a a profitable year to the 1955-56 team and its coach.
