Our Hot Hoopsters The basketball team this year was sparked by several veterans. Led by our Co-captains, Roy Lefavour and Gerry Glynn, the Wakefield Warriors proved to be one of the strongest contenders in the Middlesex League. Starting out with victories over Danvers, Methuen, and Stoneham, the Wake- lield liive, under Coach Colucci, pushed after the leading teams. Kirk Moran and Louis Sardella could always be depended upon to put the ball into the basket, while our scrappy guards, Doug Schumann and Red Porter, made a time showing by keeping the opponents out of our territory. Phil Perrone and Dick Shea kept the team on the ball by their accurate passing. Although the inexperienced second team lost several games, it performed ad- mirably. With more games under their belts these players will be in fine trim for victory next year.
