Section XXI games ' 'Westmoreland County Tournament The 51-52 edition of the crimson tide in basketball...didn't compile the same type record as the football squad...but they were always plenty of opposition for the other team. As one local sports writer appropriately named the team Firehouse 5 ...they were both hot and cold . .. giving hard fought victories by as low as one point to some of the strong teams of the area and then losing by wider margins or eking out a close victory over weaker opponents . . . providing many thrilling minutes for the spectators and worry for the Coach...we hope our boys grow a lot to help our team next season.
