THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD ATHLETIC NEWS BASKETBALL The Windsor Locks High School basketball team had a very successful season under the able leadership of Coach Elias Shapiro. With an overall record of 15-6, including tournament games, they emerged in a four-way tie for first place in the Central Valley C Conference with Bloomfield, Suffield, and Portland. Much of the credit for this successful season must go to Coach Shapiro, whose hard work and patience paid off with a share in the league championship. Starting the season with only one member of last year ' s five, he directed the team to its second league championship in the three years he has been at the school. The members of the team which made this possible were William Corbin, Leonard Kulas, Fred Tenerowicz, James Popielarczyk, Edwin Filip, William Booth, Thomas Courtney, Thomas Johnson, Arthur Christian, Ronald Pomeroy, Louis Rossi and Seth Sharp. The team, which features a fast breaking attack that accounted for many baskets, was one of the smallest in the league. When they were slowed down, they moved off their ace pivot man, Jim Popielarczyk. Jim, the tallest man on the team, was the leading scorer and rebounder on the team and also placed high among the leading scorers in the league. At the forward positions were Tommy Courtney and Fred Tenerowicz, who were the second and third leading scorers on the team respectively. Tommy, a sophomore, with a great one hander and an excellent driver, helped Jim with a majority of the rebounding. Fred, who had a good outside se; shot and also a very good driver, was a good defensive ball player and was often assigned to guard the higher scorer on the other team. In the backcourt were the little men , Billy Corbin and Lenny Kulas. Billy, the playmaker of the team, was the middle man in the fast break and handed off for many baskets at the end of it. Lenny, on the other hand, was a fine defensive man and a good driver, as witnessed by the fact he was the team ' s fourth leading scorer. Billy Booth, the team ' s sixth man, was effective when called upon, and should spark the team next year. Arthur Christian also shone when put in and should help immensely next year. BASEBALL At the first practice session. Coach Shapiro welcomed nineteen baseball candidates. Among these nineteen were seven returning lettermen and twelve newcomers. The returning lettermen were William Booth, Robert English, Leonard Kulas, Thomas C.curtney, Kenneth Walters, William Corbin, and Louis Rossi. The newcomers mostly freshmen, are Thomas Johnson, James Pesci, Raymond Levesque, William Allshouse, Walter Czyzniak, William Gifford, Steven Macola, Wallace Nash, William Sidway, Albert Therrien. William Tobey, and James Wawruck. Wesson Sargent and James Tobey are the managers. Coach Shapiro is starting the season with a young team, having lost some key men through graduation. The pitching staff is inexperienced but Coach Shapiro is optimistic about his team ' s chances for the coming season. Frf.d Tenerowicz ' 53 CNI Page
