Page sixty-four l BASKETBALL REVIEW Lou Dovisisn The Taunton Higl1 basketball team completed a twenty-game schedule with a record of seven wins and thirteen losses. This over-all record does not indicate the excellent brand of ball that was played during the entire season. The team bounced off their 1954-55 basketball campaign by grabbing victories in their first three games. These were played against Archbishop Williams of Braintree, Falmouth, and North Attleboro. Then the Orange and Black lost a close contest to Braintree by a 48-46 score. Their second loss came at the hands of Attleboro, 70-52. Taunton snapped their two-game losing streak by edging Falmouth 53-52. Again, the Herringtowners dropped into a slump by losing their next three tilts to New Bedford High, VVeymouth, and Durfee. The Durfee game was certainly the thriller of the year. The decision of this hard-fought contest was not determined until the last minute of play when Durfee pulled ahead to win by a 61-59 margin. VVith spirits high, Taunton then proceeded to hand inter-city rival, Coyle, a 64-51 defeat. Having a record of live wins and four losses to this point. the Orange and Black hoopsters lost their next six games to shatter all hopes of entering the Class A Tech Tourney. Their only other two wins came at the expense of Coyle to retire the Mulcahy trophy to Taunton High for another year. The Herringtowners entered the Bay State Tournament but were eliminated by Brockton in the initial contest, 73-61. In the personnel department, senior Fred Boehner led the team in scoring with 2:26 points. Fred was also selected on the Gazettefs all Bristol Hrst team. Other high scorers were sophomore Gene Fournier with 186 points, senior Lou Dovner, who missed almost half the games through doctoris orders, with 1224 junior Pete VVayslow with 1:20 to his credit, and Captain Larry Silvia with 100 points. The future for basketball at Taunton High under the excellent handling of Coach Bob Daly certainly looks promising. Lots of success to Coach Daly and his squad of the future.
