MR. FRANK SERANY
We heartily congratulate the 1955-1956 Hazleton High Basket–
ball team upon completion of an excellent season. The Mountaineers
compiled an enviable record of fifteen wins and five defeats as well as
being the highest scoring quintet in Hazleton High history.
The Mounts began the season with eight straight exhibition
wins, but were nosed out in their first Eastern League Contest by
Allentown Central. They finished the first half in third place.
In the second half of the Eastern League, Hazleton avenged one
of its two first half losses by downing Allentown Central. They con–
tinued undefeatei until they met Allentown who again beat the
Mountaineers just as they did in the first half. The Seranymen copped
second place in the second half race. They sustained their only other
loss at the hands of Williamsport.
We are particularly_proud of the achievements of several players.
Shutovich, Pecile, and Grebowski were picked to play in the Dream
Game. Grebowski broke the individual scoring record for one game
which was formerly held by Coach Serany and Charlie Zack. He was
picked on the Eastern League first team ·and in addition received
S\.ll~wide
recognition.
The second and third strings should also be commended. When
called upon, they did outstanding work when the chips were down
and played in the true Hazleton Spirit.
To you, Mr. Serany, all the best in the future.
