POTTSVILLE BOYS BASKETBALL

1956-1957 Season

16 Wins - 11 Losses

   The new system, in its second year under Head Coach Charles "Daw" Miller, aided by the capable assistant coaches, George Dimmerling and M.J. Brady, began to show exciting results. In its most successful season since 1942, Pottsville won five and lost five in the tough East Penn League. Losing only to mighty Allentown in the first half, the Tide clinched second place with a thrilling win over Bethlehem. In the overall season, Pottsville placed third, with Seniors George Joulwan, Jim Whitaker, Bob Pepe, Jim Jolwan, Bob Edward and Carl Engleman playing fine games. Frank Prestileo, a junior, showed fine promise and with Mills, Devitt, Scatnicki, and Santor returning, Pottsville should roll up a fine record next year.
