Coach Silver hails Vic Wells as the season’s centerpiece, crediting his turnaround from last year’s lack of motivation to early practice and late shooting sessions. Earl Rodgers and Ray Nardo also blend veteran defense and scoring, powering a comeback run that included a 26 point effort against St Benedict’s and strong guard play throughout the campaign.
