Grafton Bearcats open defense at Shinnston opener
Grafton High School bears, under coach Butch Haswell, begin the 1976-77 Big 10 title defense with an opener at Shinnston against the Spartans. Only one returnee from the 22-2 last season, senior Mike Ware, leads a largely rebuilt lineup as Haswell restructures for the new schedule and possible three guard offense. The game starts at 8 p.m. following a 6:15 p.m. junior varsity contest and fans are urged to arrive early for seats in the small gym.
